Brigantia has been sold


Brigantia has been sold!

After giving us three years of fun and joy and looking after her novice crew, Brigantia went to pastures new in the Autumn of 2013. This blog remains as an archive of our activities on board.

Well worth remembering ...

... is this line extracted from a letter written by Admiral Nimitz shortly after the loss of three USN ships in a typhoon

"Nothing is more dangerous than for a seaman to be grudging in taking precautions lest they turn out to have been unnecessary. Safety at sea for a thousand years has depended on exactly the opposite philosophy."

Tempted to print that out and nail it on a bulkhead!
