Greetings!

 

Here is the the update I promised you on the mast and rig project.  The crew are on target to step the masts by June 1.  Lend a Hand at our partner National Park is this Saturday May 18.  Follow the link for details.

Re-Rig Project Has Begun

Leon Poindexter's and his crew are preparing the masts and rigging and will raise the masts by June 1.  The posting on the website will be updated often.  It will be great to see the masts scraping the sky!  One step closer to getting Ernestina sailing again.
