Zoe's teacher thought a celebration of a successful year of learning would be better spent sailing on the One And All and a lot healthier than having a party with a lot of junk food.
waiting to get on board
the deck
the captain giving some safety instruction
pulling on the jack rope or the halyard (can't remember which) to hoist the sail
yay! the sail is up
some of the 13 crew on board
aren't the portholes cute
I love the masts and took too many photos of them
Zoe at the helm actually steering the ship
getting rigged up with a harness to climb over the side of the ship
ready to climb over the side
scrambling towards the bowsprit
climbing over the bowsprit
and back along the other side
some ropes
more ropes and a pulley
aw its time to get on the bus and head back to school
I took way too many photos of ropes and pulleys and masts and other sorts of rigging. I love ropes. I must go through those photos properly. Maybe there is a painting in there somewhere. Mmm a painting of ropes with a nice wooden pulley .... yeah that could work ...
