El Galeon is a lot of work, and a lot of fun, in the same package. Here's some pix from our passage: a sunset at sea and a dolphin escort. Surprisingly chilly, which was delightful after days in the 90sF/mid-30sC before we left. Long passages are in some ways easier than short ones, in that you can really get into the rhythm of whatever watch you're on. All the passages on this summer tour were only a couple of days at most, though.

| "What I really do." Yes, in real life I'm the helmsman on a pirate ship. Pretty unique item to have on a resume! |

| "What I really really do." There's no comfy indoor nav station. Just like in the old days, the helmsman and most of the watch are out on the quarterdeck whatever the weather. |
