Ernestina Heads Out To Make “Official” Return, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
I headed down early yesterday morning to get some footage of The Ernestina while in port. Thanks to Damon I got the heads up that she was in. I didn’t understand the crew’s reluctance to let me aboard until later when I found out that she supposed to make a “Grand” entrance with escorts and all later that morning.
Here the skipper readies her to leave the harbor so they could make a formal entrance an hour or so later.

Ken Sutton, Chief Engineer In The Engine Room Of The Bluenose II
Spotless down in the engine room as you would expect aboard The Bluenose II.
Very cramped area to work on the engines compared to the Gloucester draggers that we’ve done videos of in their engine rooms. That is to be expected as The Bluenose II was built and designed as a sailing schooner first and not a powered vessel.

Wheel Of The Bluenose II Polished and Shiny
I got down to see the Bluenose II three different random times and guess what? Every time I was there for 15 minutes during a coffee break someone was polishing the wheel.

Watch as a mate aboard the Bluenose II convinces me that working aboard these schooners actually involves labor and not cruising into port and getting drunk.
