We sailed into the harbour of La Palmas this morning.
There are two other square riggers here. The full rigged ship Danmark, she has square sails on all three
masts, from Denmark and the Tenacious which is a barque like us, from England. The Captain
served as Bosun on the Danmark and still calls her the “Finest Sailing Ship Ever”.
According to a book listing all the Tall Ships the Tenacious is designed for handicapped sailors as well as
able bodied ones from ages 17-70. The tops have guard rails! I will try and get some pictures of her.
My watch is still on duty today but I have the next two days off so hopefully there will be some good stuff
to share with you all.
Thanks for reading
KJ
