Copy (The) Cat...


We had a visitor this trip. The "Lady Maryland" was in dry dock with us for a new paint job. She is a replica of a 19th century schooner. At 80+ foot in length she has got us beat by a lot.

Given her size we chose not to push back on the crew's choice of bottom paint color for the Lady - yes, they painted her red. (Copy Cats).


For the top sides they chose the color pink for historical purposes. Apparently when the original schooners were manufactured, the boats were built very fast. The painters used the same buckets to paint the bottom and the top sides. The result - pink top sides. (Are you thinking Operation Petticoat? I am.)


We considered painting Tropical Breeze's top sides pink as well.....NOT.
