Greetings From New Orleans ,
This week a replica of the HMS Bounty is coming into port and I and a few other NOBRA Pilots will be volunteering our services to take the Bounty to Baton Rouge . The Bounty will be in Baton Rouge until Dec. 8 and the purpose of her visit is to help generate interest in the Louisiana Navel Museum , and the USS Kidd . I'll post a " few " pictures of the Bounty and the river as we make our way to Baton Rouge and this should certainly be an interesing but slow trip .
Smooth Sailing !

Ted,
Thanks for the photo of the Bounty. I happened to see it listed for sale in the Boats & Harbors magazine a few weeks ago. Wonder if she has a new owner? According to the classified ad her hull was rebuilt with new timbers recently. I was aboard this boat in 1972, while on vacation, at Tampa.
