Pride II Dismasted

You've likely heard by now that PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II was dismasted last week off the coast of France. The mass of rigging that fell to her deck was astounding--judging from photographs--but more astounding is the fact that nobody was hurt, and that the vessel was brought safely and quickly to Port. That's a testament to the professionalism of the PRIDE crew, and to the leadership of Captain Jan Miles.

A couple of those PRIDE crewmembers were keeping a blog of their experiences aboard, and have continued to do so throughout the dismasting and its aftermath. Click here for a deck-level account of the accident and preparations for repairs.
