I’d love to set sail on a
traditional sailing ship. Not a modern luxury streamlined one with an engine in
case of a lack of wind; but a proper galleon one with two masts; lots of
netting to climb up to the crow’s rest, and ropes to swing up and down on to
get about the deck. There’d be a captain with a traditional wheel and we’d rely
solely on map and compass to get us through the day. Below decks we’d sleep in
hammocks and swap bottles of ale and sea shanties in the mess room. I think it
would be great just to sail for the experience and get given a different job
each day. It would be great fun if people got together to sail to a destination
in these types of ships. Or better yet, build one yourself to your own liking
and be your own captain…
