Return to WhimSea's Home Port.
Here's the message I sent out; Ahoy, It’s looking like the ships are expected in the Duluth Piers sometime around 4:00 (1600) Thursday, July 31st. Figuring a speed of 6 knots will put them off Knife River about 1:00 (1300). So, we’re figurin’ on sailing to the NE about 10:00 to see if we can intercept. I’m thinking they should be between Sand and Eagle Islands about 10:00. We should be able to catch up with them when Bark Point is abaft their beam. Today, the weather service is predicting NE winds 5 to 15 knots becoming E 10 to 20 on Thursday. If this holds true it’ll be the best point of sail for all three of the tall ships and the Niagara will probably be flying at least top gallants (though possibly the royals as well if closer to 15 knots than 20). I’m attaching as PDF’s the information I have. Let’s meet at the boat about 9:30. Whimsea is well found even having a life raft but if you have a favorite life jacket, you’re more than welcome to bring it. If we sail all the way down to Duluth with those tall ships we may not be back to the marina before 8:00 (2000). We’ll have coffee, tea and lemonade and muffins in the morning and some snacks. Otherwise, bring some refreshments. Let me know if you have any questions or anything. Fair winds, Troy & Karen No Trackbacks/Pingbacks for this post yet...
