Tall ship Vela now a true Island Girl!

Vela, Island Windjammer's newest tall ship (the former Tole Mour), has finished her sail from the shipyard in Panama to her new port of St. Vincent!!

IWJ's beautiful Island Girl #3 arrives/ed this am and will be continuing her internal refurb from a teaching vessel to a sailing passenger vessal (gotta get rid of those dorm style accommodations!).

Ready for her first tall-ship lovin' cruisers in late December, and I'm gonna be one! :D:D:D Whoohoo! Check her out at islandwindjammers.com.

Whoohoo! How extra special!

Ahoy! To find others who sail/will sail the Island Windjammer ships (Diamant, Vela, Sagitta), go to myseashanty.com. I sailed Vela on her shakedown cruise over Christmas, and she is a very nice ship, and does she speed cut through the waves! My Vela Shakedown report is over there, in The Yardarm section.

Thanks SailorJM! Been a member there for quite some time. I tend to just lurk around :) Did read your trip report though and am getting more and more excited as pictures start to emerge!
