Moving Day: Volunteers team up with crew to load and haul gear from storage back to the dock.

These past 10 days have seen a flurry of activity on and around Spirit of South Carolina.  As Captain Cleveland prepared to move back aboard,  he faced the daunting task of emptying out and moving back to the ship an entire storage shed of ship's tools, spare parts, hardware,

 sails, and cordage that had been kept in storage off site. 

 So, last Friday, the 17th, Volunteers, Bryan Oliver and Hunter Freeman laid into the task along with Capt Dan and crewmember Matt, to drag, roll, lift, and haul eight loads of materiel back to the dock.

The following Sunday morning, Volunteers Dan Maurin and Danny Johnson, mustered on deck to sort out and secure the pile of materiel, as well as dispose of several dock carts worth of trash and salvage. As the afternoon heat closed in,  volunteer, Bryan Oliver showed up. He and Hunter teamed up with Capt Dan and Matt to down-rig the sailing Dory, and lift, haul over, and maneuver the hull across the dock and over to the deck of Spirit of South Carolina, where she will become the next maintenance project.
