This blatant publicity for an organisation I support.

If you fancy taking a 5 night voyage on a real tallship & being entertained by / encouraged to sing by Kimbers Men and Bosuns Call then you might like to sign up to this voyage from the Tall Ships Youth Trust (previously known as the STA) on the brig 'Stavros S Niachos'. It starts at Portsmouth (UK) on 23rd June and you disembark 5 nights later at Brixham, Devon. Don't take the 'Youth' part of the name too literally - this trip is open to anyone aged 18 to 75. As well as singing (assisted by the guests) you'll work as a trainee crew member on this purpose built sail training ship. No previous experience is necessary & the voyage fee of £449 includes full board and opportunities to climb the masts, pull on ropes, play with the sails, steer etc. For futher info see http://www.tallships.org/documentNews.asp?cat=520&doc=7159 or browse the whole TSYT website at www.tallships.org
