Lady Washington crew readying ship for sailing season!

"A cold breeze rolls down the South Aberdeen waterfront, making mock of the bright sun and clear skies as the crew of the Lady Washington hoist components of the rigging dozens of feet up the mast as the process of getting the ship ready for summer gets underway."

Sailors and Their Stories From the Sea
⠀⠀
"Off the coast of South Africa, I worked aboard a cage-diving boat. I witnessed many amazing things, but one day a 5-plus metre female white shark approached the boat. She simply hung around and observed us, showing no interest in the cage, the chum, or the baitlines. Every time she returned to the surface, my brain would temporarily refuse to accept what I was witnessing due to how enormous she was. Like 'That is what? It's so big, Jesus.' She was very composed and observant. It was the first time I truly understood that, despite the fact that it is entirely foreign, there is some sort of intelligence operating in that brain."

Sailors and Their Stories From the Sea
⠀⠀
"St Elmo's fire. Worked on a 90ft fishing boat one summer off the coast of British Columbia. One calm and starry night, I went on deck to have a smoke, and I saw faint greenish-blue flames coming off the very top of the radio antenna. I excitedly ran below to tell my coworkers, and they laughed at me for being such a noob."

This picture shows an example of St Elmo's fire.
