TALL SHIP

rob - 5-27-2008 at 01:15 PM

At lunchtime today I lifted mine eyes to the horizon and beheld an unusual sight - a tall ship headed northwards of our ranch coast at a very respectable speed - with NO sails . . .

Does anyone know of this vessel? Flying US flag.

Thanks Baitcast!

Johannes - you nailed it. That web page has a locator, and it nails the ship's position right off Rancho la Aguja today.

looks like the Bounty to me too Good image here:http://l.yimg.com/www.flickr.com/images/spaceball.gif



HMS Bounty - also known as the Edinburgh Trader from the Pirates of the Caribbean sailing towards Derry. The HMS Bounty is a full-size replica of the original and was originally built in 1962 for ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’ starring Marlon Brando

Roberto, coming home next month. Will try to plan a trip to La Aguja. Nice looking roof!

Naw Matees...looks to me like a ship full of Dutch free booters out of Pichaliingue. Me thinks the holds are full of Spanish gold coins, silver from South American mines, and Portuguese wine casks!! I say we pull along side in the wee hours and help ourselves to those spoils we're entitled to.
Who's with me ?? :smug:

The Black Pearl

We could use a bit of booty . ..

Cabobaja, siempre bienvenudos - give us some notice and layover . . .

cabobaja - 5-28-2008 at 01:32 PM

Roberto, will do!

Sorry navigators, going the wrong way. Can't be Dutch.:saint::no::biggrin:

Tis the Bounty. Twas in the marina here for two days.
Aye matey!

May 29

At about 1:30 this afternoon it passed by our front yard in Bahia Asuncion.

Was not close enough to take a decent picture, but sure looked good through the binoculars. Wish it would have been running with sails---would have been quite a sight

What a beautiful ship--wish I'd had a chance to see it.
