On Thursday, the lucky convergence of three Volunteers to jump onto the dory restoration project, enabled the Volunteer Coordinator to capture them in one place at the same time, to recognize their Volunteer Service.

Dallas Spencer, leading the restoration project, has notably accumulated already close to a hundred hours in the short few months during which he's been aboard. In recognition, Bryan awarded him the Jibsheet Volunteer lapel pin, with expectations he would be soon hitting the 100 hour service mark.
Mikell Evatt, long a stalwart volunteer, surpassed the 100-hour mark late last year in December. Due to his many other irons in the fire, he's been unable to return to the schooner, until now-just in time for Bryan to hand over to him the recognition of Foremast Volunteer for his service.
Lastly, Walter Barton, in the short several months he's been volunteering, hit Service milestones faster than Bryan could track them. In December, he surpassed 100 hours of time on board. In February Walter soared into the rarified company of volunteers accumulating over 200 Volunteer hours. The achievement is held, so far by only four other Volunteers. Bryan marked the milestone by also presenting Walter with a custom Sapele Swedish Fid, created from stock purloined by Captain Richard Bailey and his Engineer, 8 years ago.
