On the Solway Lass Tallship

Voyage One - Nov 12th to 15th

From toe lacerations to monkey flips and drinking games to criminal mysteries, this trip had it all!  The crew, led by Skipper Greg, was fantastic!  And our fellow guests left nothing to be desired.  We all became friends very quickly and went on to have a lot of laughs and make a lot of great memories.

The highlights for us were definitely the view from the Tongue Bay lookout, the "ibble dibble" game, the amazing sunsets, and the abundance of beautiful sunshine!  And of course the last night out together which is a little hazy....but I recall it involved men wearing women's clothes, a wet t-shirt contest and a lot of jugs of beer!

Voyage Two - Nov 16th to 19th

After the splendid first trip, we couldn't wait to get out again for the second voyage.  The only thing better than sailing for four days in the Whitsundays on a tall ship is.....sailing for eight!

The new crew (except Tegan and Jen) was led by Skipper Crusty and equally as great as the first!  The guests on this voyage took a bit longer to get to know each other but, with the help of the crew, eventually seemed to get along very well (hee hee).

This highlights from this voyage were the trip to the beach in the rainstorm, the superb winds and sailing, the beautiful champagne sunset, and the amazing full moonlit view and cloud gazing the final night.  And of course the last night out together in town where the unthinkable happened....first, an excruciating karoake rendition of "Mac the Knife" followed up with table top dancing to the B52's "Love Shack".  What a night!
