Ship's Log:
It is very late and most trainees and crew have retired to bed or
squeezing in last minute showers. We have enjoyed another full day. Brian
Toss, a well-known Port Townsend rigger gave an excellent tour and
presentation of his rigging loft. Brian is a colorful character and crew
and trainees enjoyed the visit. Later in the day the rigging crew came by
the boat for a tour. Carol Hasse from the Sail Loft also came by for a tour
and was thrilled by what she saw. She gave the Grace a book entitled =B3The
Arts of the Sailor=B2 by Hervey Garrett Smith, one of her favorite books on
sail repair. Tony, the kids, Tristan and I spent an amazing evening with
Sugar and Leslie and Helen and Bill, sailing friends of years ago, and both
their families, at Sugar and Leslieīs new home. There were 18 of us and we
played volleyball, shot some arrows, played chase the flying fox, ate
delicious barbecued hamburgers and banana floats, and had wonderful
conversation, catching up on the past few years. The day was very cold but
just after mid-day the sky began to brighten and by 1500hrs the sun made it
through. It was nice to feel the sun again. Several of us, Steve, Rona,
Jacob, Noah, Simon and I enjoyed playing in the park along the beach.
Starboard watch went to the īSalal Caf=E9ī for breakfast and port and fore
watches went for supper tonight. I heard it was fun. Many of us spent the
day perusing the shops once last time; itīs a fun place to spend a few days=
,
weīd love to have a few more of them. We are leaving tomorrow at 0800hrs,
heading towards Bedwell Harbour where we will clear into Canadian Customs.
We are hoping the winds will be light and the sky blue. Until tomorrow,
good-night, Bonice.
