    Feels like a different epoche. Always two hands of water beneath its keel.


    Please have a good weekend.

    I was about to write that I would love to be aboard, even in winter. But then I read your link. How awful to see the ship at sea with broken masts!

    The ship is beautiful, indeed. I like the presentation as a whole in the second photo but also the last one is interesting.

    I'm not much of a sailing enthusiast but it would be fun to be aboard this vessel.
