Not long to go Bluenose 2 due to be re-launched

Thanks for the heads up Rob.
In May we were in Lunenberg and got a chance to see the Bluenose being worked on.
Quite the little boat.... Seeing the craftsmanship up close was a real treat.

When I was in Lunenberg earlier this month I was told the term "Blue Nose" was given to the sailors because they used to wipe their runny noses on their sleeves. Since they worn Peacoats the dye would stain their noses blue.
 
I was there a few weeks ago with my son. What a beautiful thing she is, lying there in her cradle all painted up, one of our national treasures. I think the plan is for a careful launch, as opposed to the "cut her loose" variety. The rigging process over the following weeks will be interesting to watch as well.
