Arctic Terns -- the Ultimate Wanderbirds

The amazing Wanderbird Cruises sent me a brochure about their boat, which will be the vessel carrying the artists of the Capture the Light Art Expedition. 

Wanderbird Cruises

Their beautiful ketch, out of Belfast, Maine,  is North Sea fishing trawler converted to a very comfortable long range expedition trawler. She is the WANDERBIRD, 
a combination of several elements: a traditional ketch auxiliary sailing rig, beautiful wood interiors with classic yacht design from the 1940s, a charming and cosy galley, the strength and integrity of a working fishing vessel, a fuel range of 6000 nautical miles, and capabilities for offshore adventure.


My vote for the wander-bird mascot has got to be the Arctic Tern, which winters in Antarctica and summers in the Arctic... My watercolor tribute is here.
