Just a girl who sails tall ships and research vessels, blows glass, pours molten metals, and fixes everything in between
Darkhouse?
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
Thanks!
I love stickers! Though I won't be able to recieve physical mail for a few months with our port schedule...
Ah, nice, I'm headed back down there in a few weeks
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!
Aww, thanks @drduffer!
Galley, one of my many new cuts and burns...
Our garden experiments starting out, some green onions and cilantro (which took a tumble and is no more)
Yeah, as I've got time. Definitely more hectic than the engine room!
Sure, sounds perfect, I've got no idea!
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!
Yep, heading to Badger later this week
We were told we were allowed to take any photos we wanted aboard the Eagle
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!
295 ft, 3 masts, 17knots under sail
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
Cutter
Neither, Tall Ships America sailor called in to help train the crew and be extra hands aboard and safety eyes in the rig
Hard to get a pic from onboard
My friends and family, but probably not random people I don't know
Thanks, I have not heard of Pacific Grace
We have deckhand, labhand, and Assistant scientist positions aboard if you are looking to get more hands-on science time, we teach new crew!
