Feb. 14th, 2005 07:16 pmOn futher consideration, I won't do a report on the Wooden Boat Festival. I updated that web page instead.
Took a gazillion photos to get one of the Windeward Bound that didn't look like a dark grey glop. Didn't do much better with the James Craig either, except that was a black glop. Frustrating.
That aside, I'm rather pleased with the 'results' of that trip down to Hobart. Most of the novel I'm currently working is set on a ship and I've been on that sort of ship, or even seen one. Actually, I wasn't even sure what sort. Seeing as how I'd never been on one to use as a guide.
Although, I'd been thinking 3 masted barque, not too big, about the size of, oh, the James Craig there. And about the same vintage. So, I paid over my $8 to go on board and tooks lots of photos. It would seem the restoration was done with the intent of showing visitors what a ship of the era would actually have been like, which was particularly handy.
( just a discussion with one of my characters )
