Fan Photos: Transit Across the Canada/US Border

Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain's transits, which we call "Passages," are growing in popularity. The boats welcome passengers aboard for our trip from one port-of-call to the next. They can last a few hours or several days. Earlier this week, we sailed from Vancouver, BC to Blaine, Wash., crossing the Canada/U.S. border. Rawn Mongovius and his friends were along for the eight-hour ride, and he shared a few of his photos with us.

Rawn says the weather started out miserable and wet, but soon cleared up, leaving a blue sky and favorable winds. "The crew was now given the order to hoist the sails. This is what I had been waiting for, the ultimate experience on a tall ship, a brig, a feeling that the early sailors must have had when the ship was free and at the mercy of the wind in her sails," he wrote. He also lavished praise [blush] on our wonderful crew.
