My last "Wordless Sunday" for 2009

Harbor Tours

If you have time, do a harbor tour and visit also the legendary Fort Sumter with one of the schooners.

Or enjoy a tour with the Ferry out to the Fort

View from "The Battery" over to USS Yorktown at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum in Charleston, SC

I will bring more pictures from that open air museum pretty soon, so stay tuned.

Sea Gypsy

The Sea Gypsy

I am fevered with the sunset,
I am fretful with the bay,
For the wander-thirst is on me
And my soul is in Cathay.

There 's a schooner in the offing,
With her topsails shot with fire,
And my heart has gone aboard her
For the Islands of Desire.

I must forth again to-morrow!
With the sunset I must be
Hull down on the trail of rapture
In the wonder of the sea.

I'm sailing....

I always loved the song from Rod Stewart:

"I'm sailing"....

A sunsetship is cruising around at Fort Zachary Taylor beach shores full with turists who are longing for THAT nice sunset shot.

Eines der vielen Sonnenuntergangkreuzer gleitet auf dem Wasser an uns vorbei, vollbeladen mit Turisten, die alle warten um den einzigartigen, absolut besten "Schuss" mit ihrer Kamera zu machen.

This is the sunset schooner, called "America", going out for a sunset cruise - but it has been gone now for a few months. I don't know the exact reason for that, but I'm missing this majestic looking sailing vessel.

Die "America" sieht man leider nicht mehr vom Hafen ausfahren zum allabendlichen Sunset-Cruise. Wirtschaftliche Gruende denke ich, waren massgebend am Verschwinden des imposanten Schiffes - und ich vermisse dieses immer so majestaetisch auf dem Wasser segelndes Boot sehr!

The schooner is back in the harbor, the sailes are rolled in, it is waiting for tomorrows new adventures out in the ocean. It's like coming home after a hard working day in a safe place, isn't it?

Man kann schon Vergleiche ziehen wie z.B.: nach getaner Arbeit, obwohl etwas muede, aber trotzdem sehr zufrieden, kommt man heim in den sicheren "Hafen", bevor morgen wieder die Hast und Eile eines taeglichen Lebens beginnt.
