In the terminal, after being told that our test at the airport was good enough to let us board. Can you tell that we're ecstatic?

Lots of canvas sails!

Meeting up with Star Flyer on the way to Dominica

Cabrits Fort Shirley

They wouldn't let me board the Star Flyer, so I had to settle for a picture.

Random pics from around the ship

I liked that even the dinghy rowboat, got the ship's name and registration on the back!

Repairing one of the sails -- right on deck! Check out the huge sewing machine!

Her name's not Rio. (That's right. A 40-year-old reference to an MTV video from a terrible band. You're welcome! )

Here's the last batch of pics. They're from the tender cruise, when we circled the Royal Clipper to get pictures while it was under sail. So these pictures show the progression from just the jibs and small sails, all the way to full sail. Hope you've enjoyed the report and pictures.
