Our local friends and neighbors are welcome to come by the boatyard next week, Monday-Friday, 10am-3pm, and salvage any pieces from our scrap wood pile that they could use.
It’s time to spruce up the yard for the summer, if that’s oak-kay by yew.

We need at least 2 more students by close of business Wednesday to run this class. Spend the weekend with Captain Emma Hathaway and come away from class a confident navigator under all Maine conditions. You can expect to learn triangulation, how to take a bearing, plot a course, dead reckoning, latitude and longitude, tides, and currents using paper charts, compasses, dividers, and navigational triangles. Get prepared for summer on the water. mfship.org/events

We received a couple of shots from Virginia's trip to Portland last Tuesday. She is currently hauled out at Portland Yacht Services where volunteers have been scraping her bottom and are planning to paint at the end of the week if the temperatures cooperate.
Thanks to Bruce S. for the photos.

Just saw her today, missed this post that she was on her way down. Pretty lady!!
Really, you had me at movie night. Add in a cash bar thanks to our sponsor Bath Ale works, some nibbles, and a documentary that the Vancouver International Film Festival calls " a tribute to the spirit of adventure" and you have an evening of community in the Bath Freight Shed. Join MFS for a special showing of "The Race to Alaska" which follows this unique competition, a "test of physical endurance, backwater know-how, and bulldog tenacity to navigate the 760 cold water miles from Port Townsend Washington, to Ketchikan Alaska." Oh, and that's with no engines. mfship.org/events See you Thursday!
