“If your going through difficult times today, hold steady. It will change soon. If you are experiencing smooth sailing & easy times now, brace yourself. It will change soon. The only thing you can be certain of is change.” ~James Dobson: Life on the Edge: The Next Generation’s Guide To A Meaningful Life
Ahoy mates! How was your week? I hope it was good. Today I’m taking you to the shores of Coos Bay/North Bend for a Festival of Sail & where I recently enjoyed a day of sailing. come on let’s go!
I thought it would be nice to sit back, relax, put our feet up and take it easy for a while.. Perhaps you have gone sailing before. When I lived in California I frequently took the small boat cruise to Catalina. However it’s been years since I have gone sailing.
I made sure that we have a crew that knows what they’re doing. So we can have fun and chat.
The Festival of Sail has taken over what use to be known as the Tall Ship Days, a long time tradition here on the coast.
The ships sail in blasting their cannons and creating quite a spectacular entrance into the bay.
Being an adventurer at heart I jumped at the opportunity to take part in this fun day at sea.
After a brief tour of the other ships I boarded the Freda B. A gaff schooner known for their grace and elegance, inspiring artists, poets and sailors for almost two centuries.
Before being Christened as Freda B the schooner was known as Liberty and sailed the Atlantic for 18 years before the transit from Miami, Florida to Sausalito, California to get it’s new home port.
This was a great day adventure, and ironically it felt like a mini vacation.
I’m convinced that when you can get away without really going too far away…it’s a win, win!
btw…how’s your month going?
Thank you for that sailing adventure!
You sure looked like you were having fun!
Anchors away!
Such a fun adventure! Wind against your face, sails flapping in the wind…delightful! Thanks for sharing…
