Dear readers, Heidi is very reticent to blow her own horn, but I'm not shy. I want to goad her into telling us more about the Lady. Heidi is intimately acquainted with the Lady, having made many of her sails.
Hundreds of young children tromped across its decks during the past two weeks. Tourists snapped countless photos of its billowing sails. Now, the Lady Washington is sailing away. The historic tall ship is scheduled to leave Monterey Harbor early today after making its annual stop at Fisherman's Wharf. It was docked in Monterey since Nov. 16, during a voyage from Alaska to San Diego. The ship has appeared in the films "Pirates of the Caribbean -- Curse of the Black Pearl" and "Star Trek -- Generations," but it is employed most of the time for educational programs.
