Hey all you U.K. sailing (and boating) ladies, this is for you! This darling wooden sail boat is in our marina and it has a wonderful history behind it. It is the boat Ann Davidson used to make the first solo trans-Atlantic journey by a female. It was renovated by the wooden boat school here in Port Townsend, WA.

@pusspup A real class job on the restoration. @30pics4jackiesdiamond I knew you'd appreciate the story, Jackie! @elza I can't imagine going out on the ocean in a boat that size! Those large oars must have been used during the calms. @pdulis so nice to gaze at it as we make our way to our boat. @rickster549 Yes, I love the character of the wooden boats. @milestonevisualmedia Yes, fiberglass boats just don't have the classic lines of the wooden boats. @ggshearron Thanks! And glad you're back with us! @edorreandresen The restoration was phenomenal! @congaree I agree! Really lovely lines. @shutterbug49 I couldn't image taking that on! And her memory is so honored and lives on with her little boat.
