Just a girl who sails tall ships and research vessels, blows glass, pours molten metals, and fixes everything in between

I'd say it's probably the 12 foot thick brick walls, covered in sheet steel, but maybe the new little ~12in LED lantern can't shoulder the weight the huge, old glass 2nd order fresnal lens was doing to lift the lighthouse above the waves

She was given away to World Ocean School, an educational organization out of Boston, MA, so is sailing again and under the care of a much better parent organization, though sadly no longer in the great lakes

Yeah, that's the dietary restrictions for this trip, which aren't too bad, I've sailed some trips with many more allergies and conflicting allergies that made things hard for the cooks

We attach them to science gear going down on the wire, usually the cups are put in pantyhose and just tied on as a hitchhiker. And thanks

We put the cups in some sort of mesh (pantyhose work great) and attach to some of the science equipment we are sending down on a wire, and tons of pressure later, tiny cups!

Yeah, as I've got time. Definitely more hectic than the engine room!

I'm not sure what all the student projects are yet this semester, we do neuston, meter net, and tucker trawls, and send a carousel down for sensor data amd water samples. We tend to do a lot of plankton, sargassum, chemistry, and legacy data comparison on our ships

You forgot a picture of your favorite boat on the Great Lakes, but if you put it here I'll give it to you!

Nothing too terrible, had huge swells for the whole first 2 weeks thoug. 25ft waves at times and swamping the quarterdeck for a few nights, but second 2 weeks was lovely, even had a few days with only 2 layers on instead of 6, and a day or 2 of t-shirt weather!

It gets really hard to steer with heavy prop wash when docking or near port, and in heavy Seas, 6 people help, aft is emergency backup helm can hook up if primary set fails

Check out barque Europa, for very similar, otherwise many different tall ships do public overnight programs

We have deckhand, labhand, and Assistant scientist positions aboard if you are looking to get more hands-on science time, we teach new crew!
