"Sailing" to Anacapa
"Sailing" on the schooner "Bill-of-Rights" from Oxnard, CA to Anacapa island. October 16, 2010. The weather was cold, rainy and no wind. We motored all the time. I was dreaming of dramatic light around Anacapa Island (Chanel Islands National Park), but it was flat and foggy. Anacapa looks great even in the fog. So, I took a lot of images and transfer them to "antic" look to give at least some atmosphere. The crew was great and all trip was nice.
More info on the ship:
Built in 1971, the 129’ Bill of Rights is a wooden, gaff-rigged topsail schooner designed by McCurdy, Rhodes & Bates. She is patterned after Wanderer, a schooner built in 1856 as a racing yacht. She was acquired by the Los Angeles Maritime Institute in 1997 after serving as a charter vessel on the East Coast. Bill of Right’s current owner, Stephen Taylor, is also her Captain and the founder of the American Tall Ships institute http://americantallship.org/). She provides private and public party tours of the harbor and a variety of “immersion type” student programs during the week and offers day sails to the public on the weekends to the Channel Islands.
