lies:
I’m guessing at least one of these is Westward.
Lordy.
this is some serious boat porn.
I know, right?
A cool detail I didn’t even notice until I saw the photo reblogged by you was this guy:
Just chillin’ at the top of the foremast, like you do.
Fun fact: I have been nearly that high in the rigging of a sailboat under way. I didn’t free-climb it, though, like I bet this guy did; I got hauled up in a bosun’s chair.
It’s quite a view.
