Ahoy Crew!

  All aboard for volunteer Thursdays and Saturdays as we keep working on the starboard half of the hull painting! There is always more to be done - between painting, and finishing touches on our rigging so we can bend sails on, general maintenance onboard is a constant thing! 

 As you know - everything we do is through the support and love from our volunteers. We cannot thank you enough for that support and time, these events would not have the same vibrant energy without all of you! As we continue to host events we still need help, so if you have the time, please sign up below.
