Thought I'd like to share this image of the Brig Niagara. I sailed aboard her on Sunday the 14th of Aug. It was gusting up to 30 kts on lake Erie asnd the skipper decided to take in sail . I have more imges if members want to see them.

50% of the guests were sea sick luckly not me.

Water was cascading down the decks from the gunports and eventually aft to mix with the breakfast of many aboard. It was kind of chunky and pink in color The crew handed out barf buckets and one poor chap was coiled up in the scuppers aft with his face in the bucket. I never did see it.

With a digital camera I never did get a shot of the water breaking over the bow.
