After spending the night in a near perfect anchorage near Covey Island, I arrive at the storied seaport town of Lunenberg, Nova Scotia. The Bluenose II is docked downtown and free to visit, an offer I can't refuse. I also pay the small fee and visit the amazing fisheries museum there.

Wow, what an incredible sight to see these tall ships passing by! It's so cool to witness a piece of maritime history. It's always fascinating to see old school sailing ships from a bygone era. Kevin, you never fail to bring us these fascinating episodes of 'How to Sail Oceanic'. Thank you, Kevin, for taking us along on your adventures. Fair winds to you! And indeed, what beautiful vessels, what iron men, and what grand times! Keep sailing and inspiring us all.

Thanks mate, fair winds to you as well, and happy holidays.

@michaelgullikson5235 10 месяцев назад

A fine reminder that it is not just an unexamined life that is not worth living. Well done, Kevin.

@howtosailoceans1423 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Mike, thanks for stopping by. Are you in Maine presently? Happy holidays and fair winds.

@michaelgullikson5235 10 месяцев назад

Hey, Kevin! Yes, our boat is on land and all wrapped up for Christmas. Knowing that you are out there on adventure makes the long winter nights here a little more palatable. I hope that you are doing well and are having a fine time. .@@howtosailoceans1423

Many years ago in my crazed 1960s youth I was one of three owners of an old wooden 50 ft Grand Banks fishing schooner we sailed around Florida and the Bahamas. It was 1930 authentic with wooden hoops on the mast, canvas and cotton sails, manila lines, leaks all over and no winches or any electricity so no nav equipment, with an old diesel that seldom worked. It was a tough boat to sail, but we loved her and even then we knew how lucky we were to be sailing a real piece of history. Modern sailboats are so much easier, but they move so differently on the ocean and lack that authentic odour of old cod fish.

@howtosailoceans1423 10 месяцев назад

Awesome. I'm betting you treasure the experience more now that it's over ha ha.

@richmorpurgo5554 10 месяцев назад

They got so good at cod fishing, they can’t do it any more. Cod tongue is rare these days.

Of all the videos you have shared with so many this one hit home deeper than any other . Maybe its the fact i grew up on the the Northshore having family both here and in Lunenburg , of my family members sailing those waters off the Grand Banks under canvas with only the wind to move her forward. You have gaven so much worth to all those who labored days at sea and never returned. I thank you. Angus Johnson SV Violet Walters

Thanks for the film of these tall ships.My great grandfather was a captain of a Norwegian tall ship sailing from Norway to the US.

@flightplan1000 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Kevin. I've read Sterling Hayden's book more than once and each time I get some new insight about him and his sailing days. He was a better writer than actor. One description driving a big schooner really hard with some old friends of his talks about "twelve, fourteen knots or I hope to die with a hard on!" Now that's descriptive...

@howtosailoceans1423 10 месяцев назад

Yes, that was the paragraph that followed with Pine and the Thebaud out for a pre-race shakedown. Vintage stuff. Can never get enough.

@windonwater3895 10 месяцев назад

Great episode - thanks Kevin. I loved watching the films of the old timers and listening to your readings. I know this is inappropriate but I wondered how they would have done if they had added foils???

@howtosailoceans1423 10 месяцев назад

Lol.

Old school sailing ships- from an era gone by. Very cool Kevin, thanks for bringing this HtSO episode to us. Sterling Haden- a fine method actor back in his Hollywood days. And... yachtsman too. Give me a tall ship- and a star to steer her by. And... to hell with your rules! The pig iron ballast story was neat. Interesting museum. Educational & Entertaining. Historical sailing before GPS, Navionics, cell phone service. I hope (in real time) that you're headed somewhere warmer at this time of the year? Getting mighty cold here in the Mid-Atlantic, Chesapeake Bay region just saying. Some warm sun, just a little fun, maybe some rum...and cheaper prices too. RA looks good under her new sails. Safe travels my friend.

@howtosailoceans1423 10 месяцев назад

Thanks, yes, presently in Bermuda. Very cold up in New England just now, indeed.

@billb2176 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Kevin - creating living history is a rare skill.

@birdsongken 10 месяцев назад

Excelente 👌 very well done!! As a mariner of 20plus years, more or less 4000 days onboard merchant vessels, now retired in Costa Rica, restoring 41ft Formosa in the water at Puerto Azul, punterenas. Totally true! Adventure is what is missing in this time, yet you are one of many set sail to distant scores, and learning them like a migración.

@howtosailoceans1423 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for stopping by. Best with the restoration and voyages to come. Fair winds.

@danleger7665 10 месяцев назад

I've sailed those waters and Lunenburg is a rare treat for the sailor, no matter how you arrive. Thanks so much Kevin for recognizing the pride we Nova Scotians have in our proud nautical history, one we happily share with New England (aka the Boston States).

@daveyoung3880 10 месяцев назад

Yepper skipper. The good old days!! They would be amazed at today's boats. Nicely done

@olivei2484 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for keeping the spirit of Tall Ships and yesteryear present. I just picked up a re-print of "The Kedge-Anchor" and the vocabulary is so dated, it will take time to read through it. Not just the English usage, but all the Square Rigger terms and lost items to history. What comes to mind at this point is the Futtock Shroud.

@howtosailoceans1423 10 месяцев назад

Yes, futtocks are just beneath the cross trees if I recall, you had to hang a bit upside down to get over them.

@alexmorton7730 10 месяцев назад

Excellent episode. I've been aboard the Bluenose II, when she was moored in Halifax. It was as much stepping back in time as walking the ancient main street of Ephesus. I've read Sterling Hayden's Wanderer and it was what inspired me to years of sailing.

@howtosailoceans1423 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for stopping by. Hayden's book is one of my all-time favs, just had to work him into this episode.

@mikefriend7570 10 месяцев назад

What a fantastic korero, story, you recount. I find your videos extremely interesting, informative and instructional. May you continue to entertain and prosper on the sea you obviously love so much 😊

Kevin: You have done it again. Great video! I'm thinking I should put Nova Scotia on my list of desired destinations.

@howtosailoceans1423 10 месяцев назад

I'm thinking that you should too, Ron. Very much enjoyed Nova Scotia. Tough sailing but worth it.

@bradwhite6254 10 месяцев назад

Nova Scotia is on our short list. I did a road trip 25 years ago with my Dad. We got to see Bluenose in Halifax. A bunch of college kids worked her and they used Helmsman varnish everywhere. I guess when the labor is cheap you can use the cheap stuff and reapply often.

@howtosailoceans1423 10 месяцев назад

Hi Brad, I enjoyed Nova Scotia very much, and I only made it halfway up the coast. Perhaps our wakes will cross up there sometime next summer.

@bradwhite6254 10 месяцев назад
