Hi, my name is Dinah. I have sailed twice with SALTS and absoloutly LOVED it. I was on trip 3 aboard the Grace this year ( it was amazing to see pictures other then my own for once!) and trip 2 aboard the Grace the year before. I think this website is absoloutly amazing Scott. It blows me away at how well you can represent the emotions i find indescribable, with this site. I believe we have met...very briefly, when the Grace came in to the shipyard at the end of trip 5 this year. I was aboard just helping clean up, and i remember meeting someone named Scott...But i could be totally off...anyways!
I just wanted to say that i love the site and if i had a digital camera or a scanner, i would post my pictures for you...if you know of any other ways...i would be happy to.
Thanks again for doing an amazing job, and bringing back memories and tears to my eyes. As Adam said, this will help me with my SALTS obsession...it can be my during-the-year-substitute, for the real thing.
Thanks a lot!
xo Dinah

I´m starting to be overwhelmed by all the wonderful messages! I´m so glad that this site seems to be as much a joy for others as it is for me!

I´m not really sure how well I am representing any emotions though, just giving us all a place for those emothons, memories, and community to blossom and grow. It is an indescribably experience, true, but once you´ve been out on one trip it´s in you forever - this is just an outlet ;)

as for your photos - I can think of 2 ideas, 1) you could get re-prints and send them to me and I can scan them - but 2) I expect if you went to London Drugs or some such place they will scan them for just about the same as getting the re-prints done (I wouldn´t want you to send me your origionals - just in case) and I´m so busy right now the first option might take a while ;)
 
We would love to see the photos though!

In the mean time - have any good storys from your trip? the stories section of the forum is always eager for more...

In any regard, I´m thrilled that you like the site, and also glad to see so many others with similar "obsessions" :)

Dinah - You could also ask around if any of your friends have a scanner. That´s a free way of getting them scanned... good luck with getting your pics up! I can´t wait to see some more :) It´s so much fun seeing the enjoyment and thrill of people´s expressions on their faces in the pics, it truly is an obsession.

Thanks Krista! I will try to get my pictures to the site someway or another! Free is always better though! ;) Thanks again for the amazing site!

i loveeee the site too!  ive been on the grace three times..once with school in grade 8 and two summers. I cant wait to go again oh my gosh!i love how they´res pictures that we can go and look at cause i miss the boat so much!

Glad to hear you like the site sailorgurl - and thanx for the photos - it´s been almost 10 years since my last trip so that "miss the boats so much" feeling I know all too well ;)

wow 10 years...did u ever work on any of the salts boats?

Hello, I´m new to the site.  My son found my pictures of my trip with SALTS on the Spirit of Chemanius I think in 86 or 87. Sbaker, you may know, on the trip the Pobertson II coming out of port, ran aground and they had to put all the traines and crew on the main boom and tried to rock it off.  Anyway, Master Anderson was the captain at the time and I had a blast.  I´m going to get my pics set up to post them,  I would love to get in touch with any others on the voyage and swap stories.

Wow, this must be the day for the Spirit... I just got an email this morning from a couple interested in purchasing her (She is in Florida now) and now your post - I know nothing of this story - please do tell us more! and photos... are ALWAYS much appreciated!

My first trip ewver was also on the Spirit in ´87 but that was a school trip - but noting so eventful happened ;)

I live in Georgia, Where in Florida in the Spirit, I would love to see it again and show my son.  He can´t belive I actually got tosail on a ship like that.  If anyone knows where the spirit is in Florida, Please let me know.

All I know is Ft. Lauderdale - if that Helps...

But I´ll ask the people I was in touch with and see if I can get more info for you...

That would be great, I will make some inquiries myself.  I don´t know where to start but I will find something.

You may find this link useful in your search for the Spirit.  :-)

I looked up the company and called, the secretary told me the ship was under contract and didn´t know how long it would still be there.  She said that if I cam down to call and she would let me know if it was still there. A lot of fond memories that are still fresh in my mind and evey time I sail, and see a old ship, I think about that summer.

Hello,
I just discovered this site when I realized a friend from classes at University of Calgary was wearing a SALTS shirt and rekindled all those memories!
I posted some photos I wanted to share: I´m sorry they are such a bad scan job - this IS from 1998 we´re talking about here...
It would be awesome to hear from other people onboard including the crew, sometimes I wonder because maybe there are some MORE people at University of Calgary!

I watched this film from English. But yesterday I wach if from Turkish. So, I saw many important details. This film is, only by a word, magnificant
