Volunteers lay in with Captain Cleveland to begin repairs on the ships sailing dory.

 This past Saturday morning on 9/26, five Volunteers, Mickell Evatt, Anne Crosby, Joe Gorman, John Witsett, and Wayne Jones, joined up with Captain Dan Cleveland to start a project to make repairs to the ship's sailing dory. The small rowing/sailing boat, unofficially referred to simply as "Dory," was lying on the deck port side amidships. She suffered a stove- in plank earlier in the summer, and her wood hardware needed lots of restoration work.  Working as a team, volunteers lifted up the hull and moved her over the butterfly hatch to the starboard deck, so that Dan could start repairing the damaged plank. For the rest of the morning they set to scraping and sanding down to bare wood the dory's two oars, mast and boom.  Once repaired and rigged up, Dory will be available for learning the basics of rowing and sailing.
