Day off on the Lynx

You know you’ve gone a little crazy when you spend your day off working on another boat. Grant, Brooke, Kat and Josh went ashore, Sveta, Chris, and I went to the Lynx.

The Lynx crew, Alex, Dennis, Duffy, Karen, Hannah, Ashley, Jimmy, Mark and Jake, only the first three are staying all winter. The rest are leaving at the end of the month and new crew should be arriving soon.

I ended up scrapping off oil from the main fife rail with Ashley for awhile, Dennis joined in when Ashley went to the museum to do inventory and after lunch Alex joined in as well. Sveta helped Mark with hoops for the mast and Chris helped Duffy with some cannon gear.

We got to eat lunch there and we all had to squeeze in around their table, and extra three people really made a difference. Grant, Katie and Brooke showed up, they just stopped by on their way back from shore and Katie decided to stay and help us with work party.

It was a really great day and it was nice to get to know everyone in the work environment. After spending all day on the Lynx it really made me appreciate how much space we have on the Bounty, but the Lynx is really badass.

  1. Haha, Bounty's really spacious compared to schooners. She's even more spacious than Surprise. You guys should count yourselves lucky. ;D
