De Gallant: 📷 23/09/2020
Something Old, Something New. another title achieved in Maria’s Antonia’s #2020picoftheweek
I arrived home from my walk on 23rd September to find this moored just across the quay from me. Delighted and curious to see a schooner in port, I had to investigate.
De Gallant belongs to Blue Schooner Company who operate a Voyage Cargo Scheme offering opportunities for producers to ship their goods using the power of the wind. The ships are manned by volunteers. On this occasion, it was carrying coffee and rum from South America.

Not bad is it.
I tell you, I was so delighted it to see it. And the crew were fantastic. I think they thought me a reporter!

That is so cool! Taking photos and asking questions… I’m not surprised they thought you were a reporter. (Now get that article written and on your editor’s desk, quick. You’re already late with your deadline!)

I put it on Twitter and someone RTd to the local papers. But no one picked it up. Why should they, Newspapers don’t want to know about anything positive
