Wrapping up

Nelson's Dockyard
We're anchored in English Harbor for a few days, quite close to Nelson's Dockyard and very protected. It's a great place to be preparing New Morning for summer storage. This morning Fay went up the mast and removed the running back stays and the inner forestay. Then I went up to inspect the antenna's and some of the rigging. I took this shot of Nelson's Dockyard, with various bits of rigging clouding the view. When we have evening cocktails we try to imagine what is was like 230 years ago when this harbor was filled with British warships rather than pleasure yachts.
