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.

So adorable

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...

Fantastic advice

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!

Such gorgeous colours!

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.
