A Summer Sail
While it's snowing today, the day before Easter, when Spring should be blooming and birds singing, I needed to go back and work on some "warmer looking" images to get myself in a springtime mood. Here's one!
Last summer we took our nephew out on the Dennis Sullivan schooner for an excursion on Lake Michigan. It's a replica of the type of schooners that used to sail Lake Michigan regularly, ferrying freight from port to port in the 1800's.
The weather was drizzling, warm and the ride, thankfully smooth when sailing inside the breakwater. The sails caught a bit of a summer breeze and the passengers enjoyed the view. I think this image tells the story of the evening sail quite well. Quiet, skies somewhat foreboding and the canvas sails from yesteryear.
Catch a ride on the Dennis S. Sullivan at Discovery World in Milwaukee, WI.

The Dennis Sullivan is a beautiful ship. Your next schooner outing should be on the J&E Riggin in Maine!
