Ropes on The "Elissa"

Re-Learning the Ropes

I feel like I'm re-learning the ropes of blogging these days, hence the photo below. I took it a while back on board the Elissa, a Tall from 1877, moored in at the Texas Seaport Museum. If you're into sailing you can take a Seamanship course on board and then actually sail the in open waters. Me, I think my days of climbing the rigging some 99 feet above the deck to set the mainsail are behind me. What I find neat about the Elissa – in addition to the ropes – is that its a restoration and not a replica.
