for Bounty as she prepares to set sail. It's hard to make out, but the crew is stamping away at the capstan on the upper deck just forward of the mizzen mast.

This is the view from my father-in-law's hospital room window. He's more interested in the Red Sox. :D

Same "Bounty" that used to winter in St. Petersburg? Didn't she used to blue? I like the green.

It looks green (foggy day) but it's black.

Not long after the yard arm was in place she took off into the fog, hull disappearing but topmasts still visible for a long while. I wouldn't want to come across her in that fog!!
