Soft Shackles and the Up-Rig Continues!
Photos: Rich Schaper took a stunning shot of MT from his boat. Noah spend hours aloft rigging the course yard. Dan Higgins was busy last night, making the largest soft shackles any of us had ever seen!
Rigging Underway
The Rigging and Fittings teams are working on getting yards and standing rigging ready for raising the yards in a couple weeks!
This Week at the Tall Ship Tent and Workshop
This week at the Tall Ship tent and workshop: rigging and fittings work progresses steadily, relaxation during daily crew lunch, some education with a great presentation on climate change in the arctic by David Thoreson, and Brad Bergman is loaning us a sewing machine, in anticipation of canvas work for Matthew Turner's interior and exterior.
Ships’ Projects
Today at the Shipyard, the crew is working on: dolphins to decorate Seaward for the lighted boat parade, fittings on the yards, and chart house port covers (for heavy weather).

Time Aloft
Randall Landaiche and Noah Limbach were the topmast crew on Dec 1st. Gorgeous sunny day, but after 4 hours aloft, they were a bit chilled.
