I love ships of all kinds, but especially sailing ships. This is the German barque “Gorch Fock” at the entrance to Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia, during the Tall Ships Festival in July, 2007.

PICTON CASTLE ,at the Tall Ships Festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia, July 16, 2007 The Canadian 284-ton Barque Picton Castle is a traditionally rigged and operated sail training ship ,voyaging around the world under square sail. In 2005, on her fourth global circumnavigation, she sailed more than 30,000 sea miles across the South Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and South and North Atlantic Oceans, visiting remote islands and tropical ports including Panama, Galapagos, Pitcairn Island, Rarotonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, Bali, Madagascar, Cape Town, St. Helena, and the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean. All on board work, stand watch, and learn the way of a square-rigged sailing ship, also learning wire and rope rigging, sail making, boat handling, navigation, and practical seamanship. She also delivers educational material and other supplies to the remote islands. Outfitted to the highest standard with safety gear and equipment, she is a strong, seaworthy home afloat for young adventurers learning the art of deep-water seafaring.

Le ciel est si ancien, / des milliards et des milliards d’années, / un vieux parchemin d’étoiles, / et pourtant neuf à chaque battement de cils… Regarde, / combien de photos de coucher du soleil ? / une infinité… / mais dans ma mémoire, dans mes veines, dans le livre de mes souvenirs / celui-ci restera pourtant unique / même s’il parait semblable à tous les autres… L’amour, les merveilles, les beautés du coeur / n’y seront pas visible aux autres ; Le paysage était joli, la lumière très belle, / mais s’il n’y avait eu ta silhouette / se dessinant quelque part à mes côtés, / ce coucher du soleil aurait été / celui d’une solitude / alors que tout ce que j’y ai vu / était rempli par la joie de ta présence…
