Happy sailing
Thanks for the report from the field, Allison.
Some of.the folks who visited were really enthusiastic turning the wheels to weave the rope!
Glad we could make this happen and collaborate with a wider community. JL
Come finish out our Summer Lecture Series with a panel discussion featuring some of the volunteers who took Virginia to Sail Boston.

Wednesday, 7pm, July 29, at the Bath Freight Shed, 27 Commercial Street, alongside the Kennebec River. Donations always appreciated!
