Tall Ships

Finn of County Norfolk (formerly of County Santa Cruz and soon-to-be-of County Middlesex) and his kin boarded the Libertad--a 356' full-rigged ship out of Buenos Aries--over the weekend in Boston Harbor.

With a beam of 45'3" she is as wide across as some boats are from tip to transom! The Libertad is a big, Tall Ship!



Finn was most interested in the Bridge, which is the ship's command center.

He also showed interest in the craftsmanship of the wood decking.

On the car ride home that night, the young lad dreamt of stowing away and becoming a seaman.

Finn was joined by Susi, Jerry, Chase, Willy, and his mom and dad. Aunt Barb, Jack, and Kyle were missed, and they all risk Naval Court-Martial and/or keel hauling for their transgressions :)

Driving driving

Finn's cousin, Oliver, from Ottawa visited for Canada Day last week and the boys had a good ol' time driving fire engines and tractors.
