Yes, I’m starstruck, not by Johnny Depp, but by a ship he sailed on during the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean. Privateer Lynx, a topsail schooner docked in Rainbow Harbor yesterday. This ship is modeled on vessels used during the War of 1812 and is fitted with cannons and other authentic gear. This weekend, February 21 and February 22, the Lynx will be open for tours, and three-hour cruises are also planned for both afternoons. I’m a sucker for the gleaming hardwood decks and soaring white sails. It’s so interesting that previous generations understood the power of “alternate energy sources” long before it’s become so, well, twenty-first century.
On a vaguely related note, I came across this interesting how-to for taking a shower in three minutes. How is it related? The average American uses water to wash with in quantities large enough to float a boat. In addition to all the practical tips here, I would add that just using a timer for a few showers helps you pick up the pace. Water is too precious a commodity to let it slide down the drain.
