About Me

Thanks to all of the help from Mandy Eagle-Farrar and Kathleen Mansure during the 13-14 school year in getting our blog up and running again. With the help of student insight, Rachel will be taking over much of the blog work for this year unless there is a student or two that get inspired to run the blog. Check out all of the amazing trips we've been on this semester!

Full Throttle!!

What a big day!  We are really enjoying working outside in the beautiful weather!  We had Dan, and Matt there as our community volunteers to assist us as well.  Dan brought us a surprise that we could not be more happy about! A motor!!!                                    Steven and Andrew finished installing all the hardware on the mast and even got a nice coat of white marine paint on it as well.  One more coat of paint and the new mast will be done!!









Anna, and Sara finished sanding the outside of the decks!! We are ready to apply our first coat of paint on the deck and turn this beauty pearly white!  Sara is so excited to apply paint as she feels like she has been sanding for weeks!

Cole also assisted in the sanding process and focused on the accent trim that will stand out from the boat once we paint the decks white.

Corin was able to install the rear wall of the cabin, which he has been working on for weeks now, to the boat.  With a custom made support piece, the wall is now almost fully operational and on Tuesday should be completed with the final support pieces and primed for paint.  Corin spend much of his time today trimming pieces to fit snugly into the existing supports on the cabin.


And finally... Our Motor! Dan donated his fathers old motor which had been in storage for years!  With a little love and some fancy motor ingenuity from Todd and some of the other students, we fired up the motor for a brief while before returning to sanding and prepping the boat for paint.
