Sailing on the Bluenose II
September 1, 2023 -- I jumped at the opportunity to take a ride on the historic Bluenose II while in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. It was wonderful to see the ship get under sail with a young and talented crew. With regards to this majestic sailing ship, the original Bluenose was launched as a Grand Banks fishing and racing schooner on 26 March 1921 in Lunenburg. From the moment Bluenose took to the sea, it was evident she was a vessel unlike any other. When she took home her first International Fishermen's Trophy in October of 1921, the legend began. During the next 17 years, no challenger - American or Canadian - could wrest the trophy from Bluenose. She earned the title "Queen of the North Atlantic" and was well on her way to becoming a Canadian icon. The original Bluenose was lost at sea in 1946 and in 1963, Bluenose II was launched. It was built by many of the same people who had worked on the original vessel at the same shipyard in Lunenburg. The project was financed by Oland Brewery to advertise their products, while also promoting Nova Scotia's maritime heritage and tourism.

This was a great example to show how there is absolutely “no” differences in the “capabilities” of men and women.🤥😵💫

I believe the men competing as "women" in athletics ended that argument a while ago. Women are equivalent or better than men in many areas of life; however, the raw physicality clearly tips towards men on average. It was good to see both sexes working together without any of those stigmas of the past

@@HotelPapa100it wasn't a jibe. A person who identifies as a woman while retaining the biological characteristics of a man shouldn't be allowed to compete against women. How they identify is their business to which I have no concern.
