The Maritime Museum of San Diego enjoys a worldwide reputation for excellence in restoring, maintaining and operating historic vessels. The museum has one of the world's finest collections of historic ships, including the world's oldest active ship Star of India.

Founded in 1948, the museum grew out of the earlier efforts of a group of local historians and maritime enthusiasts who acquired the sailing ship Star of India in 1927. Now fully restored, the Star of India is maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers and skilled craftsmen and sailed at least once a year.

 The museum’s collection also includes the 1898 steam ferry Berkeley, the 1904 steam yacht Medea, the 1914 Pilot, the state’s official tall ship Californian-a replica of a mid 19th century revenue cutter, the H.M.S Surprise, a magnificent replica of an 18th century Royal Navy frigate featured in the award winning film “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.” and the USS Dolphin a treasure of technology and research and a former US Navy research submarine.

Hi Kathy!

Son and I spent a good portion of the afternoon hanging out and getting some tires for his Honda.

He's doing homework and I'm watching old M*A*S*H reruns now.

The GHOs in MT were on their nest right as it turned dark. I was glad to see them again!

Hi radu!

Warm, sunny day today, expect some rain tomorrow.

Son and I are hanging out, we took his car to get the studded tires taken off and the road tires back on.

We're hanging out now after dinner.

Spring is getting slow coming your way, huh?

Glad your day was a good one.

It was a quiet one here. Too cold and windy to want to go anywhere. Chatted with one of the gals in the Republican womens group for a long time so the day was pretty good.

DST hurts! It’s the one thing I don’t like about Spring. LOL

Had to pull the GHO cam as soon as I read they made an appearance. Hope the snow stays away so they can get down to the business of raising their little family SOON!

*siiiiiigh* Warm and sunny sounds sooooooooo nice! We had some sunshine but there was no warmth with it.
Spring is really lollygagging this year.

As crazy as this winter has been, I hope y’all don’t get clobbered with a late snowfall. That would stink since those tires were swapped out this afternoon.

Sorry it’s so cold there. Dang it, spring is just around the corner. Actually, I’m not ready for it, but our tulips are just about to bloom. So there is that.

I wish they’d just leave it on DST. I like the evenings to be light for longer. I personally don’t care what morning looks like...I’m not going to see much of it anyway. LOL! I do feel for the ones that have to get up when it’s dark, though.

Did you get snow? I sure hope it missed you!

We hope this is the last of the cold hits but aren’t holding our breath. It’s supposed to be fairly comfy by the weekend but rain comes with the warmth. Just got to get through tomorrow, which will be another cold, windy day.

I’m the opposite ..... prefer they leave it on Standard Time, as nature intended it.

We did get a little snow this morning before I went to bed. Didn’t stick to the ground because it was too warm but the deck was white. It was gone soon after sunrise.

We’ve had snow here the middle of April but fortunately that’s rare. It’s more than welcome to stop NOW! LOL

Geeeeee.....I think you are ready for some warm! Hope you get your wish really soon!

It’s been chillier here for the past couple of days. It’s 44 right now with a light breeze. Dry as a bone. It’ll be too hot before I’m ready for it so I want to ease into spring.

How did your fruit trees make it through this last cold front? Hope you get a chance to take that video of drunk critters.

My sister is coming to visit in April some time, and I hope we can just hang out for a bit. All her previous visits were to help with my Mom. This time will be a relaxing visit as we work on clearing things out, figuring out new homes for stuff...

Oooooh yeah, we’re ready for it to get and stay warm. LOL!

44 is what we had this afternoon and the wind was whipping hard. Miserable out there. The wind’s calmed down tonight but is supposed to kick back up tomorrow.

The fruit trees got through that one cold night fine but with tonight and tomorrow night dipping into the 20s, who knows how the blossoms will fare?

It’s a few months yet before there’ll be any critters getting drunk on fermented pairs. :-)

I always figured y’all to be too far south to get so much cold weather. Just shows how little I know about TN.

If the wind was blowing here it’d feel a lot more uncomfortable. Like it did Sunday. it was in the mid-50s, but felt way colder. Have I said how much I hate the wind? LOL!

Guess I’d better head out. Got most of a show to watch so it’ll be later than I’d like. I don’t like to split it into. See ya for another exiting quiz tomorrow night! :)
