Tony Pratt Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 My friend uly or on this site known as smoolie671 gave me a wonderful B- day supprise this weekend, all I knew was that on saturday we were flying some where. well to shorten the story a little flew into portland OR him and his wife rented a car and off we went had no idea where we were going so I sat back and relaxed, It was funny because about 3-4 miles before we got into coos bay they handed me some ear plugs and couldnt figure it out then we get into town and their was a big sign saying drag racing friday, saturday, and sunday this weekend and I thought drag racing ok, so we keep driving down town when we came to a stop light and I looked over to the river inlet and there they were the lady washington and the hawaiian chieftian I about fell out of the car thinking no way, well sure enought they said supprise were go on the battle sail today, what a wonderful B-day gift it was a awsom day weather was great wind was 20+ miles per hour perfect, here are some pic, Quote
capt jake Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 I thought that looked like the Lady Washington. We have the Olympia Wooden Boat Fair next weekend; I hope they will be here again. Looks like it was fun! Quote

Looks like it was fun! I am hoping to make it to this. Do you know, is there a schedule of events available online? Noel Quote
Tony Pratt Posted May 8, 2006 Author Posted May 8, 2006 Yes, If you go to ladywashington.org they have information and I think the number is 1-800-200-5239 ext 102 from what I could find they will be in coos bay this comming weekend so if your going to go book now for a spot, It was a blast hA,ha Quote
umop_apisdn Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 Thanks Tony, but I was actually looking for information on the wooden boat fair in Olympia. Not that a battle cruise wouldn't be a lot of fun, but Coos Bay is like an 8 hour drive for me. :-D I did get to see Lady Washington at the Tall Ships last August. Noel. Quote
Phil Gowans Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 The battle reinactments are a lot of fun. Here's a picture of the Lady that I like. I took my Dad on one in 2004 in the SF Bay. Our perspective was looking the other direction. If anyone is interested in more pictures, I made a little write up at: http://www.pragdata.com/philboat/battle.html Quote
