More photos from Monday’s mast removal which went great, all thanks to our rockstar crew & our friends at Northline Seafoods who did us a HUGE favor by pulling our masts with their equipment & crew!!
Josh & Baker made this task look easy while being extremely professional.

THANK YOU Northline Seafoods!!!

Tall ship now short ship! We pull our masts out for inspection and maintenance every five years and after a week of waiting for the perfect weather window (flat calm!!), we got it. Photos/videos will be forthcoming once they’ve been compiled and edited!

Biggest thanks to Joshua, Baker, and the crew of Northline Seafood’s “Hannah” for their able assistance and crane work. We appreciate these guys SO MUCH!

A few shots from this weekend’s Fall Lighthouse Cruise. Four lighthouses, some bits of very pleasant sailing, humpback and orca whale sightings, an assortment of autumn weather, shore visits, small boats, and nice sunrises/sunsets in quiet anchorages!

48 North magazine came aboard for one of our school trips earlier this year and wrote a great article of the experience!

Thank you to Salish Sea Expeditions for doing a ton of the legwork during these trips!

Thank you to Ryan Samantha Carson for the write up and for the needed horsepower on the Jib during the voyage!

Joining an Salish Sea Expeditions experience with middle schoolers on the Schooner Zodiac in the San Juan Islands is a discovery of what makes programs like these so impactful for all involved.

Building a mast: Stripped the bark and built the support bunks to keep the trees off of the ground, these bunks needed to be long enough to rotate each tree for the cutting process. Next up, we get to cut them down to a couple inches of finish diameter and then they sit for a couple years to season (dry out naturally)
Years from now, we will do the final shaping then fitting of equipment followed by 9-10 coats of varnish
