CARNIVAL! REGATTA! FUN! FOOD!

The carnival in Dockside will begin at noon on Friday, 5 Sep. and run nonstop until Monday at 1 am. Rides, food, music, and prizes!

Regatta

Things will kick off about 8:30 PM with the christening of Hospital Ship 1 by Governor MacLeod-Fenner at the docks near the Rhydin Public Library. During the carnival, the ship will be open for tours after its maiden voyage to its mooring point in Dockside. Hospital Ship 2, currently moored in Dockside, is closed to the public to keep it ready for emergency use. Citizens not entering their watercraft in the regatta are invited to sail on Hospital Ship 1 as she heads for her new home. Reservations are not required, but may be made by contacting the Governor's office.

((The photo is from the TV show Hospital Ship. I found it at https://www.kdramapal.com/hospital-ship-highlights-episode-3-4 and am using it as an illustration what a hospital ship looks like (and for inspiration) I until can create a model.

This is the place to add any boats, yachts, etc. entered in the race as well as carnival activities. Winners of the race will be chosen at random. Have fun! Reservations are not required OOC. :) ))

Onto the Regatta! Along with few friends and family, Pharlen shed a little desert rat to bring out 'The Wicked Witch' for the cruise. Sporting blue and green camo paint, and apparently in possession of her original armaments, PT-162 cruised along sedately with the rest of the craft.

Jack, Pharlen's husband, manned the helm, while first mate Jackie clambered over the ship, waving and cheering to the watchers and other ships and boats. Pharlen hung out on the bow, dressed to her 1940s and now and then belting out Anderson Sister's hits over a small PA system. Jackie, Desdenova and Nile helped out now and then, but mostly, they were a moving hazard.

Historians might point out that PT-162 suffered the same fate as most torpedo boats, to be stripped and destroyed by the US Navy towards the end of WW2, but, Pharlen was quite good at getting places right on Time.

A bottle of champagne was smashed against the hull of the new hospital ship and its maiden voyage was underway. The Governor and several others sailed with from Dragon's Gate to Dockside.

The carnival was in progress when the ship arrived at its new home. Due to the recent events in Old Temple, Colleen kept her youngest two children close by her side. One never knew when trouble was following.

Onboard the Blood Falcon. Along with his fellow crew members, would be Georg Aurdon. Showing his support for the work being done on to bring in the new hospital ship.

Nevermind that the pirate flag was still flying, nor that it looked armed to the teeth. It was the thought and support that counted.

The Halcyon

Date: 2018-09-08 15:05 EST
"Arright, ye divils, cast off an' make way," Halcyon bellowed from the stern of the small sloop. Painted brilliant blue, a white flag with the Halcyon and Phoenix crossing at the mast, and now crewed by five teens with five spares, the sloop surged into the line of craft escorting the hospital ship.

Once the sloop was cruising along cleanly, most of the youngsters climbed forward to drag their hands in the waters, cajoling the grim captain with 'c'monnn!'s and 'you promised!'. After a few moments of that, Halcyon snorted a laugh, and she lifted her voice, clarion and rich, into a series of staccato chirps and barks.

That had the desired effect: soon, a small pod of dolphins were spinning and leaping alongside the sloop.

Halcyon lifted a hand to greet the 'Wicked Witch', but was rather taken aback by the elegant 'Blood Falcon'. She knew a pirate's flag when she saw one, and black sails were never a good omen. Though, she simply shrugged it off, and waved to them, as well.

After all, she was captaining the 'John B' sloop.

Ebon's yacht, Waverunner, set off from its riverside moorings to join the assorted tall ships, houseboats, fishing trawlers, catamarans, and other vessels as they took to the watercourse. Phen and their daughters, along with several of the Ilnaren fosterlings, waved from the top or aft decks.

Feeling more than a little adventurous, Doran decided to participate in the regatta apart from his father, though not exactly alone as he and Sylva hit the waves in a small, rented sailboat. Having spent plenty of time with Captain Aja over the years, he had a good understanding of how to work the sails and rigging. Admittedly, this was the first time he'd taken a boat out on his own before, but he was trying to impress a girl.

Fortunately he managed not to capsize the boat, and even kept it mostly dry inside except for spray from passing waves.
