Ahoy mates. Here are a few photos from my visit to the Nina today. She is a very fine ship indeed.

What an opportunity, Gator, I wish that I coulda been there with ya, mate!
Thanks for sharing the experience...did you take any others? We could put together a feature or a gallery album for them, mate, for sure!

Could you imagine sailing 5200 miles in that ship?! What a freakin' gas that would be!
Thanks again,

Skipper alread has the rest of the photos for a feature.
The wind was blowing pretty good here yesterday. As we went aft where the rudder was, you could hear the water popping the rudder pretty good. My mom and my wife asked me what that sound was. I told them that's the sound of a sailing ship.
