December Update!!! December Update!!!!

It's the Holiday time of the Year! The Spirit's first and incredibly successful education sail season finished on Wednesday, December 5th. Bookings for next season are already brisk and few slots remain open! Well done to the crew and the office staff who made it happen...not to mention the volunteers who contributed to many sails, dockside events, and donor events.

The holiday season is rapidly approaching and this is a reminder of the Holiday Party on December 15th at 3 pm. At 2 pm there will be a volunteer appreciation ceremony to present rewards to volunteers who have reached their major hour milestones. There is also a new 750 hour level reward which will be presented to those who have reached that level.

Mark your calendars and be ready to sign up at the Holiday party for the watches we will be standing from Dec 23rd through Jan 1st. The ship will move to the City Boat Yard for a scheduled maintenance period and the seasonal crew will shrink -- so we have the wonderful opportunity to supplement the crew and stand overnight watches in that time frame. If you can't make it to the party, please email jeteske@sbcglobal.net to let me know when you can stand watches overnight.

Check out these pictures from the season--this is what it's all about!!!
