Schooner Cruise

Under sail.

Conference ended after lunch today.  We hooked up with a group of ten plus Delaware people from the conference and jumped on a schooner for a cruise around Frenchman's Bay.  A National Park ranger was along for the ride and gave us all the low-down on the islands and their stories.  Including tiny Rum Island, completely shielded from view of town and for which you can guess its role during prohibition.  Not many animal sightings, a bald eagle several hundred yards away, a pod of harbor porpoises, and assorted seabirds, but the cruise was nice and it was good to see one of these tall ships being preserved and manned.
