The waters of Burrard Inlet were full of sailboats today on Canada Day and these two had red sails so looked very festive for the occasion. In the background can be seen Lighthouse Park with its lighthouse that is still in use.
You will stay, I'll sail away

A wonderfully peaceful moment, once again captured on Zanzibar. Who wouldn't want to be sailing into the sunset on the beautiful Indian Ocean.
The first rays of colour coming through on a rather chilly morning the water was almost still. I have always been fascinated with early morning and evening skies I love the colour it throws off just before sunrise and after sunset they can be stunning.
This is the 'Full Sail' hybrid tea rose. A fragrant rose, first cultivated in Auckland, New Zealand, by Sam McGredy.
The McGredy family are world famous rose growers who came to New Zealand, from Ireland, in 1974, to escape death threats from the IRA (Irish Republican Army) during a time of terrible violence in Ireland.
One of Sam McGredy's most well known roses, developed in Auckland, New Zealand, is 'Full Sail'. Three other of his world renowned roses include 'Sexy Rexy', 'Olympiad' and 'Handel'.

'Full Sail' is a popular hybrid tea-rose because of its perfectly formed, pure white blooms on long, strong stems with a most sweet honeysuckle and lemon fragrance.

The tall ship Schooner Jolly II Rover was designed by Naval Architect Meritt Walter as a mercenary vessel and was built in 1994 by Bock Marine of Beaufort, North Carolina. The Rover’s hull is constructed out of steel and at 80′ long with her trademarks sails, topmast and square rig she is a magnificent sight under sail as well as sitting quietly dockside.
The amazing Schooner Jolly II Rover is proudly owned by Bill Malone and is operated out of Key West’s Historic Seaport. He purchased the Jolly II Rover in 2003 to fulfill a lifelong dream of operating a classic, square rigged, topsail schooner.
At the time of purchase, the Jolly Rover was in Fort Myers, Florida. With the help of enthusiastic friends, Bill sailed the Jolly Rover back to his adopted home of New Orleans. With his new team, “The Pirates of Lake Pontchartrain” he offered day and evening sails on Lake Pontchartrain with daily sailing trips, sunset sails and sailing charters.
Several years later you could say that fate intervened. Hurricane Katrina passed through New Orleans and blew the Jolly II Rover back to Florida where the tall ship belongs – among the traditional sailing ships, both mercenary & merchant, of the Historic Seaport of Key West.
