Ships You've Sailed On

[CMA_Decky]

Alright so just put down what ships you've sailed on. I'm not sure how many of us Tallship sailors are around.

Volunteered/Worked for the Ocean Institute in Dana Point, CA onboard Brig Pilgrim and Schooner Spirit of Dana Point through high school and into college summers for five years. Actually this is what got me interested in going to sea for a living.

Sail on Irving Johnson (LA Maritime Inst.) every once in awhile when I'm down south, the Captain used to work on Spirit with me.

Got a chance to sail Privateer Lynx a couple weeks ago, and all I gotta say is god damn that's a nice boat and a nice crew.

I sailed as Master on the Biloxi Schooner "Lavengro" when she was on Maui. Nowadays she's moored on Lake Union in Seattle.

CMA Decky, Do you know if the Irving Johnson was able to be salvaged or not?
She ran aground coming into Channel Islands harbor in 2004..Washed up on the beach and was battered pretty hard...I never heard what happened to her after that...

I used to do some sailing on the Appledore IV.

Just day sails and a few longer trips. She's just a wee little schooner.

Yeah, she spent about a year in the shipyard before she reemerged. Still an incident that ways pretty heavy over everyone's minds. On the plus side she got repainted with a new glossy white epoxy paint. Still has the three year old paint job and it's so smooth and glossy it looks like plastic.

I also used to run the 1926 Alden schooner "Teragram" on Maui, that is until the owner turned it into matchsticks on the beach in Kona. A tragic end to a classic beauty. One of my deckhands kicked the shit out of the guy when he came back to Maui. Insurance job is the theory of choice around that situation.

CMADecky, nice pics...Glad to hear she made it...It was really sad to watch that beautiful boat get pounded in the surf ...
