Tall ship sailing

On Saturday, February 27, 1999, we went sailing on the Hawaiian Chieftain, in a battle reenactment with the Lady Washington. It was a great day! A fantastic experience, a very professional crew, and nice weather. We can really recommend others taking this outing. Check the websites of both ships for more information.

Here are some of the pictures we took (click on any picture for an enlargement):
