   "That's a beautiful schooner!" says one of my shipmates about the Lady Hawk, another vessel in the Sequim marina.
   "It's actually a ketch, see how the front mast is taller than the aft one" corrects another shipmate, highlighting the only difference between a schooner and a ketch.
   "I think it might actually even be a yawl" says a third ( Read more... )

Very interesting. What sort of camera do you shoot with? You always have such beautiful photos.

Canon 720 IS. Just a humble point and shoot.

Hmm silly. This location isn't secure at all. We ARE supposed to check all liquor in with the captain at the end of every night though and retrieve it from him when we want it once we've been stood down. I find it strangely distrustful, as if we were liable to be incorrigible alcoholics if we had access all day, but hey it means I don't have to devote any of MY extremely meagre personal space to storing it.

Quite silly about the origin of pooka though. (:
