Ship's Log:
It´s our last day in Melbourne, and we´re preparing for sea. The
ship is cleaned from stem to stern, the rig is thoroughly checked,
rhumb lines are drawn on the charts, stores are loaded, and our
twelve passage crew join the ship and settle into their new quarters.
Volunteer crew, Sheryl Thornthwaite, has painted Australia´s two
barques on the concrete wharf; ´James Craig´ under full sail, and
´Polly Woodside´, standing bare. The two ships face each other, and
between them is a love heart, inscribed ´James 4 Polly´. The sea and
ships inspire romance, and this voyage is no exception.
In the evening, the crew enjoy a civilised meal at the Royal Yacht
Club of Victoria. The RYCV have been excellent hosts to us during our
stay in Williamstown. --- James Parbery
