Many Thanks to Two Volunteers for Keeping our Momentum alive over the past two weeks.

 To put things in perspective;  

A week ago Saturday, a welcome surge of eight Volunteers took a sizeable chunk out of the schooner's Pre-shipyard maintenance Punchlist- projects that need to be completed in order to advance the projects best attacked in Shipyard. 


And, during that interim.  Volunteer Deckhand Todd Cole was recognized for surpassing 100 Volunteer Hours of service to the schooner-all the more notable, since Todd drives across the state from Georgia to get here. 


This past Saturday, the 16th,  Ken Fonville and Wayne Burdick teamed up, and just the two of them tackled the remainder of the belaying pin sanding and oiling.  Just the two of them, kept the momentum alive, at a time when questions are floating around. 

"Are we really, ever going to Shipyard?"

"What's after that?" 

 "Are we by ourselves again?"  

"Why bother?"

At least one of those has an answer. According to Capt Bobby;  Yes, we are going to Shipyard, pretty soon, although he did not have an exact date.  In fact, the Shipyard will be here in the Charleston area.  Unfortunately, that's all the detail I have until Capt Bobby returns on 24 November.

So, if nothing else drives our sense of purpose, in giving our time to this Lady, it's the simple fact, that we Volunteers are pretty much all she's got, for now, and into the foreseeable future.  

There is still a punch list of projects that need completing to insure a successful shipyard experience. 

 Sure hope you can help.
