Late in this past Thursday’s sun-drenched afternoon, the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain arrived in Ventura County’s Channel Islands Harbor, following their passage north from Oceanside Harbor. Both ships finalized their arrival with single shot cannon salutes, their reports echoing through the harbor. The two, full-scale reproduction tall ships are here as part of an ongoing tour of the West Coast. Both ships will be here until January 23 and will be putting on several Battle Sails as well as multiple Adventure Sails, educational workshops for local students and walk-on tours.

He steered me into a sailing school, and soon I was a skipper looking for affordable ways to sail on a teacher’s pay.
