Pocahontas

 

A couple of the other "passengers" taking the Jamestown Scotland Ferry across the James River last night.

 

 

Clouds forming on the horizon hold out the promise, at least, of cooler temperatures to come.

 

 

Linking today with Skywatch Friday.

Bowsprit

 

Tied up very near to the Schooner Virginia was this much smaller sailboat. In contrast to the Virginia, I noticed the bowsprit.

Profiles

I finally took leave of the Schooner Virginia after these last two profile shots. Quite appropriately, I just finished reading David Grann's excellent new book entitled The Wager last night--fuels the imagination while also offering a stark reminder of what life aboard these ships was really like during the age of sail.
