More Ceres

Vermont Sail Freight . . . south bound.  Click here for their ports of call and dates.   More fotos courtesy of Fred Wehner.

I’m eager to see them with masts stepped and sails billowing.

If anyone wishes to contribute fotos of the vessel making her way south and calling at ports headed south, please get in touch.

Ceres Sighted!

Whatzit?!!  in the background with the classy leeboards.  In the foreground, of course, it’s the world-infamous tug44, and in its own lair near the hideaway of Fred, in the north country approximately 200 miles north of the sixth boro.

It’s the sailing freighter Ceres, a moving cornucopia of all things edible, sixth boro bound

with auxiliary power for the Canals, where sailing is not an option.

Here Ceres exits Lock C-7.

At the tiller, it looks like Steve Schwartz, whose inimitable idea of a figurehead appears in foto 8 here affixed to sloop Woody Guthrie.

Much appreciation to Fred Wehner for all fotos here.   Fair winds to Ceres.
