Charles is awesome! Pirates are awesome in general, but Charles is really rocking it.
I’m not surprised everyone wants a go with the map & treasure chest, they’re excellent props.
And Charles is fine young pirate. Ice to see him debut for the Company.
He's adorable!
Kinda gives me Moomins vibes.
Thanks, everyone! I should do some more photos with him. He pretty much just sits on a chair...

It IS!
Bounty's captain gave me that out of the chart book when we reached Ireland. I later put in some dots tracing our transatlantic course from when I'd copied positions into my journal. I also use the lens he gave me to shoot most of the doll pix. I wasn't into dolls at the time, but I think he would be amused
"Happy Earth Day! Here's a whole bag of crap and a bucket too from today's beach walk, all Mum could carry. Don't litter, ya lubberly swabs!!!!
Adamantly, Sunsette"
I used to come home with bags full of trash after beach walks. It got pretty discouraging.
You've sailed trans-Atlantic on a tall ship?! What an adventure!
Don’t litter, ya lubberly swabs! Words to live by.
Excellent advice from Sunsette there.
Great job, redheads!
We can't go picking trash because of quarantine. I wonder if we at least stopped dropping it everywhere, because, y'know, quarantine. Somehow I doubt that...
Thanks all! That whole mess is 99% rope. Cut it and chuck it overboard. You'd think that a community that makes its living from the sea would respect it... but nope

Yup. It was.... ("and what a time it was; it was...") One of those things that's fun to say you did, even if there were times while you were doing it, that you wished you weren't doing it....

I wondered if I was being a bit paranoid when I thought about this. I mean, all the bottles in the ditch have probably been there long enough to be OK. But I've seen a couple other people mention it so I guess it wasn't just me wondering. The bottle return place has been closed anyway.
This week's pic is Taryn again... had to get a picture of the redhead with the matching flower. I wish the amaryllises lasted longer. At least this one bloomed on its two stems consecutively so overall I have flowers a bit longer.
You still have an amaryllis in flower? Cool!
Love the bright colors! Lots of sunshine today, it looks like!
Across the ocean on a tall ship... and you blogged it!
You've actually had a life! An exciting and adventurous life! That must be... wonderful.
Thank you for sharing the link!
Beautiful, rich colours! And I'm always going to swoon over a redhead!
What a fascinating thing to have done. It must have been such an adventure.
And taryn with her matching flower look stunning. I love that shade of red.
