Aye to what Midchuck wrote:

" Nova Scotia would be good."

We have not been back to Cape Bretton or thereabouts in years, but keep wanting to as we love it up there. And don't fear about the weather - it's warm enough up there in the Summer.

"... The New England membership could maybe set up a charter ferry trip out of Portland, ME, and retain Kendall to maintain communication with the Captain so he/she wouldn't give up on us as total crazies and turn back."

Hells Bells, Mateys! We'll just commandeer the bloomin' tub and pipe Cpt. Kendall to the wheel! I'll bet he still knows his way around Hallifax Harbor well enough!

Now if one of our more prosperous Members could come up with a 125' schooner (give or take a fathom or two) we could start down in Florida and sail up the coast, picking up Mudcatters along the way to Nova Scotia - wouldn't that be a hoot!
Those of us who remember the Dramamine and can keep our crackers down long enough could learn both "the ropes" from those who really do know (like Kendall & Barry Finn to name a few) as well as some rollicking good old Sea Chanties.

I can see it now; "Pukers to the lee; Sailors up aloft; The Mudcat Roll & Go!"
"Bend yer backs, me hearties!!! (over the leward rail)... "Now heave away all!" (Bllaaaachh...!)

I'll bet Charlie Noble would even write a song about it - he does that sort of thing, you know
!
We could get a PBS film crew aboard and tape it for posterity - it just might keep fellow Folkies in stitches all over the civilized world for some time to come.
