| We called Halifax Traffic at 0420 as we
approached the traffic lanes. With a beautiful
sunrise behind us, we left the peace of the open
water and entered the busy harbor of Halifax
under full sail . Our banners all flying , we
sailed North passing many of the berthed ships
and struck sail. Schooner
Ernestina came alongside the Barque Picton Castle
at Tall Ships Quay on the Halifax waterfront at
0935. We find ourselves in company with many of
the great ships we've been traveling with
throughout the events of the Eastern Seaboard and
Canadian Maritimes.
Laney Briggs came by from the
Norfolk Rebel. He's been in at all of the same
ports with us. We're talking up a future visit to
the Canadian Maritimes for next year. Lane's son,
Steve, sailed as captain on Ernestina for the
1995 sailing season.
