The big boat I command is at:
www.navy.gc.ca/oriole
The history is all on that website.

Beautiful boat! I envy your job.

It is a dream job. I have sure learned a lot about sailing and boat
handling since I got the job. I have, on occasion, scared myself silly
as well. 92 tons of sail boat in a storm at sea is very challenging.
92 tons without winches or any modern conveniences is grueling.

I have amuch more respect for a two speed self tailer!
