On Tuesday, October 21st, a 1930's Schooner called the Mistress sailed into Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The owners of the Mistress, Skip & Kathleen, were very gracious in letting our office take some photos of this marvelous boat.
Yesterday, when I went out to take photos of their boat they decided to doll it up with their flags. However, in addition to their flags, they asked to borrow one of our Elizabeth City flags to have on it (which is in the middle, and you'll be able to see in the following photo). * Click the photos to see them in a larger format!
