Oiling and Sewing

I oiled the chest of drawers that lives in the heads. Unscrewed it from the wall, sanded and oiled with a Sveta mixture, oil, linseed oil and pine tar. I did some whippings on the end of lines and finished sewing the chafe gear on a line.

Brooke was in bosuns servicing blocks and later sewing the sail; Kat was cleaning the galley and then sewing. Katie was tarring boots in the head rig and making a new one on the port cathead. Grant was all over the place again, patch serv, tarring, bosuns and Sveta was working on the eye bolt again. We also started to change the stopper knots on the lines, from figure eights to double overhands.

We also got a new volunteer, Ethan, another Canadian.

Figure eight vs. double overhand.
