   Kind of slow today. Woke up to a foggy, drizzly, grey morning. Perfect for reading the comics and doing crosswords, but enough weather that it really just made you want to stay inside reading a book and drinking tea. So that is pretty much what I did.
    I did work on some more photo's, so there are more to look at tonight. I am hoping it will be a bit nicer tomorrow as I still need to get a couple of loads of laundry done at some point, and it is always nicer to do that when you don't have to dodge around rain showers.
   So in the meantime; here are the last batch taken on our sail on the Roseway. They are also the last ones from our week long dance vacation on St Croix. I still miss being down there and am already looking forward to being there again next year.

Evening Sail on the Schooner Roseway - Part II






Another view of some of the standing and running rigging on the boat.





Just me enjoying the breeze.

Heading back to the harbor as the sun is starting to go down.

My sister Cheryl and Mary enjoying the sunset.

Another picture of them enjoying the evening.




Not a great sunset..... but pretty darn nice anyway.

Rima enjoying the sunset also.

Another view of her and the passing scenery.

The crew is starting to bring in the sails. They are all volunteers that sign on for a couple of months too a couple of years. They pretty much run the boat along with the captain, and also help during the day when they may have 30-40 local middle school kids on board for a day of school instruction at sea.

 




A moment to reflect.

The old fort in Christiansted as we come back to the dock.

Last view of the boat.
