Back to the Bounty.
Captain's cabin. The last time we came, we weren't allowed to go below decks. Today we were luckier.
Mess hall. Note that the tables are held up with ropes, the better to keep them steady during the waves and preventing the waste of food.

Giving in to delusional thoughts involving me being the captain of the Hawaiian Chieftain.
This cracked me up. Wood? Ropes? You better not light up.
Mast of the Hawaiian Chieftain.
Next stop--the Nina.
Hanging out at the Nina...we stayed here quite a while, love this ship.
The Nina's rudder.
Pictures of this boat's birth. It was made in Brazil where they still make boats the old-fashioned way, by hand.
The ship-builders. Talented men.
And extra large knot. Lots of them on ships.
A look below deck.
The windlass.
Elizabeth and I at the Nina.
The Nina's mast.
Joy, Elizabeth and Fred reading up on the Nina. Like I said, we stayed here for a while.
Reading more about the history and making of this floating museum.
Last view of the Nina
Next stop, the North Star.
This family is amazing. They live on this ship up north of the Yukon. The father is the captain, the mother is the first mate (?) and the 3 daughters are the crew. They've been living on this ship for 12 years. Their daughters are teenagers or nearly so now.
Some of the street entertainment.
Jack Sparrow's twin giving out pieces of his "treasure."
The Plaster Man, an Inner Harbour tradition. I think he's been there for a long time, almost a tradition.
Drop a coin in his bucket and he'll move for you.
One of the vendors at the Inner Harbour--amazing artwork featuring almost live-looking ocean creatures...looks just like what we see when we look through our waters, amazing.
Elizabeth and I steering the US Eagle (cough, cough)
Fred and Joy talking to a US Coast Guard
