Big Red Dream

We sailed into the sunset on a big red dream called the American Pride !!!! Yes we did, but only after we single-handedly raised the mainsail of the ship!!! We did it while the crew leaned against the rail and rested. See what two grannies can do when they put their weight into it??? The sail on the far right (notice it's the largest and heaviest?) is the one Peg & I raised. We still can't wipe the smiles off our faces!

Cool ship, Jan!

I heard the stories but seeing the actual picture is great! I think next time you both go out on that ship they'll let you share captain duties!

You and Peg continue to amaze me!

Hugs,

Kathi

Did you say share........Ya think he might. The really cool thing was that the crew was about equal , woman/ men. They all did a super job.

Well, all I can say is WOW!! Where did you get on this beauty? How far? Sorry if you've posted this and I've missed it....been MIA a bit lately. But, it looks amazing and I wouldn't be getting rid of that grin for quite some time either.

Hi Susan, We boarded the ship at Dana Point Harbor in Calif. The ship ,( American Pride) was part of a Tall Ship Festival . A total of 8 Ships took part in the Tall Ship Parade.
We sailed out of Dana Point Harbor. We went out far enough into the ocean to have all 8 of the ships play tag with the others. The Ship's fired canyon shots at each other. When it came time to head back in at sunset, we sailed by the head lands of the harbor and fired our canyon's as a salute to all the people watching the battle from the shore. We docked as the lights of the habor started to flicker, so much fun , a memory for a life time. This is put on each Sept. See you next year? Peg

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Who started the rumor that all grannies can do is sit in their rocking chairs and knit? It is a total fabrication and we got the proof of that.

You girls continue to totally amaze me!

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
