No sailing on Tides Inn during these winter months, so Sue and I have been working on the Canadian Sailing Expedition's barquentine SV Caledonia. The boat is here in Norfolk for yardwork. They were refloated on 7 Feb and doing final fitting out at Nauticus wharf at Waterside.
We've mostly been doing odd carpenter jobs like securing galley/pantry shelves, building fire-fighting gear storage locker, building chart drawer, etc... For awhile I was "Mr firedoor closure mechanism" man, but that job is mostly finished.
The Caledonia is being fitted out as a luxury cruise boat that will cruise Nova Scotia in the summer and Guadalupe in the winter. Passengers can pitch in with hoisting the sails if they desire.
