Heave

I rode on the U.S. Brig Niagara for the day yesterday. When I got there, though, I realized how cool it would be to take audio. So, to my luck, a thunderstorm came through and the captain told us to go back to our cars for about 15 minutes so we wouldn't get soaked. So I ran back to the paper, picked up the audio stuff, and got back just in time.

It was definitely a unique experience. To see all those crew working together almost constantly to put up the many sails was like watching a machine work. It was pretty impressive. And to live on that ship for a while would definitely put you in a different world and mind set. So this is the best way I figured people who couldn't ride on the ship could experience it...
