A visit by the Schooner Roseway, and Weekday projects by Volunteers.

Hopefully, volunteers at work on Saturday, and up til Tuesday, took the opportunity to visit SSV Roseway, an original historical schooner, with a reduced complement of students bound for St Croix. Roseway had been anchored near the north channel for a few days, but since Saturday had tied up at the fuel dock. She has a website: About Roseway Over the past week, Mikell Evatt and Adam Schaich found some time to spend a few hours during the week onboard.
Adam laid on coat #6 of Varnish over the cap rail, then spent some time on the deckhand's repertoire of knots. Mikell and Bryan teamed up for a 7th varnish coat on the quarter caprails, then started a vinegar bath for a small pile of rusting tools. Every little bit helps, and most of it, like the 24 volunteer-hours during the weekday, keeps the momentum going for the rest of us.
