I'm going on an international diesel hybrid race (OK... tall ship race)
I'm leaving on a several week adventure to take part in a diesel hybrid competition... where we'll be disqualified if we use the diesel propulsion during the race event itself... :)
http://ecomodder.com/forum/images/mi...rthumberla.jpg This is the schooner Mist of Avalon - 100 tons, 100 feet tall, 100 feet long. I've crewed on it a bunch of times (that's me sitting in the middle of the bow sprit): The Schooner Mist of Avalon Tall ships from 3 countries - Canada, the US, and Bermuda - will be racing around the Canadian island province of Prince Edward Island for a healthy purse: MBS Radio Tall Ships “Race Around the Island” » Ahoy Mates On Monday morning, we're departing from the heart of the 1000 Islands - Ivy Lea, Ontario - down the Saint Lawrence River toward the race course about 780 nautical miles (1,450 km / 900 mi) away in PEI. I hope to be able to post updates as we go. YouTube - Schooner Mist of Avalon & sloop Yary, Northumberland Strait |
That's a beautiful ship. Best of luck with the race!

Didn't know that one! Maybe an old French custom? (Your countrymen were sailing long before Canada was even a country...)

Bon voyage!
