2025 NE Cruise - Portland, Sailing Ship


An example of some of the old sailing ships plying the waters there in Portland.  Reminiscent of this post and this post, both captured in Key West back in the day.

I've gone sailing exactly once in my life.  While at UT Law School my brother bought a little Sunfish, and thought it'd be a good idea to hit Lake Travis on a blustery spring day.  It was windy and cold out there, and being so close to the water we were frequently hit by spray as the little craft bounced along.  It was nice of my brother to offer the adventure, but I vowed from that day to stay away from sailboats, especially little ones...
