Sailing vessel Adventuress is a favorite of mine. Pictures of her periodically appear here at Puget Sound Maritime.

Anyway, Craig Hill has this article over at the Tacoma News-Tribune:
Sure, it’s pretty cool being the captain of a tall ship.
But for Josh Berger, it’s not enough. He wants to teach people about the environment, too.
“That’s what I like about the Adventuress,” he said. “I get to do both. It’s perfect.”
The Adventuress, a 133-foot, two-masted schooner, bills itself as “Puget Sound’s Environmental Tall Ship.”
The 96-year-old ship arrived in Tacoma Wednesday afternoon and will stay in Commencement Bay until Wednesday so its 15-member crew can teach youth about sailing, the ship and Puget Sound.
On Sunday, the ship will be open to the public for free tours from 9 a.m. to noon. At 1 p.m. the Adventuress will set sail for a three-hour cruise. Tickets for the public sail are $40 for adults and $20 for those 18 and younger.

I never turn down an invitation to go sailing aboard anything square- or gaff-rigged!
I’m back! I saw the ship (boat?) from the window — oh the glories of living with a view of Commencement Bay. Had I known you were aboard I would have found my way to the “widow’s walk” (had we one) to give you a wave. Cheers again — Caroline.
