Final Week of Rigging and Training - And 1st 2009 Schoolship

Crew practices abandon ship drill with life raft. Allen and Ben in the Rescue Boat

This was a very busy week for ISEA. The ship rigging was finished, the crew did additional training dockside and underway, and we did two "Wet Run" training trips for new instructors. We came home in pea soup fog on Thursday afternoon. And Friday morning we did our first Schoolship Program of 2009 for 5th grade girls from Silver Lake School (the boys come next week). We had a good breeze this morning, but man was it cold!
