Taking advantage of the mild November weather

The ship's crew (Capt. Ben Hale, Tim Davis and Bob Hagerman) have been taking advantage of the mild weather lately, getting the spars refinished and covering our small boat fleet ahead of the winter snows.

Today we moved the life raft (technically an inflatable buoyant apparatus) to the Traverse Tall Ship Co. for shipping to Duluth for its annual inspection.

Spars after refinishing (an annual task).  Note the lack of snow.

Happy Thanksgiving....Capt. Tom
