Une grande beauté marine est venue faire son tour à Santa Cruz ce weekend, un voilier du nom de Lady Washington. Lady Washington, c’est une réplique du bateau original du 18ème siècle, construit à Aberdeen, Washington en 1989.
Opéré par un professionel et des bénévoles, le majestueux bateau vogue sur la côte du Pacifique et s’arrête à différent port pour des tours et visites. Hier matin, notre petite famille nous sommes rendue à Moss Landing pour visiter ce bateau. L’équipe était en costume d’époque et nous ont parlé avec enthousiasme de leur aventure sur ce grand voilier.
Si l’apparence du bateau vous est familière, ne soyez pas surpris. Le bateau a récemment fait des apparences dans les films “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” ainsi que “Big Enterprise”.
Ahoy Capitaine!

A grand nautical beauty has come for a short visit in Santa Cruz this weekend, a sailboat named Lady Washington. Lady Washington, it is a ship replica of the original 18th century boat (bearing the same name), built in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1989.
Operated by a professional and volunteer crew, she sails up and down the Pacific coast reaching out to sailors and lubbers of all ages through the romance of the sea in the hope that they take a little of her history back with them. Yesterday morning, our family drove to Moss Landing to visit the boat. The crew were dressed in costumes and spoke to us with enthusiasm about their adventure on this tall ship.
If the appearance of this boat seems familiar, don’t be surprised. The boat has recently appeared in various movies such as “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” and “Big Enterprise”.
Ahoy Capitain!

Bureau sur l’eau / Office on Water
Pour Myles Weissleder, se rendre au bureau ne se fait pas sur 4 roues mais bien sur des vagues. Après avoir travaillé des années dans son petit appartement de San Francisco, il s’est dit qu’il était temps de se trouver un bureau. Toutefois, bonne chance pour trouver un espace à bureau de moins de 1000 pieds carrés à prix abordable dans le coin de San Francisco.
D’où lui est venu l’idée de s’acheter un bateau usage et d’en faire son bureau… flottant. L’avantage d’un tel bureau: la tranquilité et une vue imprenable sur la Baie de San Francisco. Bref, ‘the sky is the limit’!

For Myles Weissleder, to go to his office is not on four wheels but on waves. After having an office in his small San Francisco apartment, he thought it was time to find an office somewhere. However, best of luck in finding an office space of 1,000 square feet and less with a good price in the San Francisco area.
This is how the idea of buying a used boat and convert it into a floating office came to his mind. The advantage of such office: quietness and some of the best views of the San Francisco Bay Area. Like we say, the sky is the limit!
