Historic Viking war ship

[salmonchaser]

Last year I posted photos of a full scale, hand built, authentic construction technique Viking ship under construction. Ship is based on drawings from 1040 AD. Yesterday was the shakedown cruise from Anacortez to Resario beach(, San Juan Islands) today through Deception Pass to Coronet Bay. Over the remaining weekend the ship will sale to Poulsbo Wa. Catherine and I were aboard and I got some time on the rudder, so I can put in my Coast Guard log book I captained a 58 foot sail and oar powered Viking war ship,
