My last "Wordless Sunday" for 2009

Harbor Tours

If you have time, do a harbor tour and visit also the legendary Fort Sumter with one of the schooners.

Or enjoy a tour with the Ferry out to the Fort

View from "The Battery" over to USS Yorktown at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum in Charleston, SC

I will bring more pictures from that open air museum pretty soon, so stay tuned.

Sea Gypsy

The Sea Gypsy

I am fevered with the sunset,
I am fretful with the bay,
For the wander-thirst is on me
And my soul is in Cathay.

There 's a schooner in the offing,
With her topsails shot with fire,
And my heart has gone aboard her
For the Islands of Desire.

I must forth again to-morrow!
With the sunset I must be
Hull down on the trail of rapture
In the wonder of the sea.
