I'll have to check that show out next year, if the weathers good. Thanks!
Sounds like a "CB1100 Rally - Midwest Edition" in the making.
I think if there was a Midwest CB1100 rally MTC that I would already have +300 miles packed in before the event began. Actually I was just considering bringing my boat, but anything is possible. Why not open a new thread and "sea" what happens. Exclamation

Recently I watched a new antique boat revival : Sunday, 7 September 2014, L'Hermione left Rochefort for the first time and sailed away downstream on the Charente river for the open ocean and a series of sea trials. I was on holidays near by Rochefort, so I went and see that, it was a great event for the whole Charente area.

I took a lot of pictures! See a few of them hereunder, and some more in higher resolution, in this picasaweb album :

This project started about 17 years ago... Now nearly completed !

Yaaarrr! Back in the days when ships was wood and men was made o' steel.

Wonderful pics of the tall ships Delphisa.
Great ship, Delphissa.
Great report, Matt! Wish I could have joined you!
There will be other rides, Todd. Just let me know when you're available.
