Had a great sail today. I'm onboard the Exy Johnson, one of two brigantines named for the pioneers of tall ship education, the husband-and-wife team of Irving and Exy Johnson. Mostly we do day sails just outside the channel at San Pedro, and today was no different. Both ships went out today, which was unusual, and our crew were young people in training to sail tall ships, so the professional crew mostly stood back and watched. I took pictures. This one shows Irving Johnson with Catalina Island in the background.
Here's our first mate Tiffany Krihwan driving the boat, a very skilled captain in her own right and a blessing to those who work for her.
Here are a few of the less-active student crew.
Next week we're making a 60-mile trip to Dana Point to take over the program that The Spirit of Dana Point can't, being in drydock for a few weeks. Dana Point is a fascinating place which I hope to write more about.
