Thanks for the link Armand. I crewed on "Liberty Clipper" for her transition from Jacksonville, Florida to Nassau last December. Sorry to see that she finished in 6th in the Schooner Race this year. |

Got to sail on the Brilliant when I was younger for a week. Must have been a site to see all those schooners. |

Went out on a friend's boat to watch the start a couple of years ago. Got some nice photos. If I recall correctly "Pride of Baltimore II" won overall that year. |
