high spirits

[full view recommended]

it's been over a month now since I was on the Lady... and I miss her and her crew like heck. so I needed a little "fluff", as Bree could call it. (with different connotation to it, of course) so there you go -- a random shot of our beloved sailors in the rigging. I took this shot when we were just hit with a good blast of 20-knot winds, and needed all available hands in the rigging for loosing the sails. ^^

(five... dratted... months... away... from legally being able to go aloft!! )

(left to right)
-those who should be loosing the topsail, now pointing dramtically forward: Sue & Erika
-those on the forecourse: Apollo, Young Master (Mike), & Midshipman Prokosch
-those on the ratlines: Kyrstin (aka Bloody Jack) & Jenni

viva la Lady Washington!!

& this goes under "Smile" in the 100-theme art challenge... for obvious reasons.
