Thanks Paul

This was the first time I went to Spring Point at sunrise.

I knew the vessels were in town and I didn't know they were leaving.

In fact the Nina was the only one showing up on Marine Traffic.

I wanted to see them and I got lucky.

When I first saw the Nina, it was dark and it took me a couple of seconds to
figure out at just what I was looking at.

The first ship, the captain was hollering orders to the helmsman the whole
time.

The second ship, not one word. I didn't hear anyone talking.

I remember seeing those three ships at Jamestown, or rather the
replicas of them as a young person. It was not far from my home. Nice
to see them again. Poquoson was my town, a town in the 50's and a city
a few years later. From 5,000 to over 100 thousand now. Wow time flies
and flies like a banana.

Two different way of commanding I guess!
