On the move – Lord Nelson in the Indian Ocean.
This morning, I made a provisional booking for another long voyage on this tall ship. This time, the Jubilee Sailing Trust‘s Lord Nelson (‘Nellie’) will be on the move from the Pacific coast of Panama, through the Panama Canal, coast-hopping along Costa Rica then over to Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, before finishing in Cuba.
My booking is ‘provisional’ due to two factors: a watchleader spot still available (half price!), and my employer agreeing to five weeks off work next January/February. I figure they survived me being away for nine weeks to do the Indian Ocean in 2012, so five should be a mere formality. 😉
(Update: although I was indeed granted 5 weeks off work, the JST cancelled this voyage due to insufficient bookings. Not impressed.)
Fingers crossed on both counts! 🙂

Thank you! One count is, um, counted off — the JST emailed to say that I got the last (of 4) watchleader berths. Now I’ve just got to sort out leave. 🙂

Great capture of movement. Makes it look like a real action shot.

Thank you, Cardinal. I’m hoping that the Caribbean will not have quite as much action as this photo suggests!

Just how long *is* that bowsprit? Great point of view shot.

10 or 11m, I think. And wide enough for a wheelchair, as you can see.
