Had a slow start in the morning, but it’s not often that one gets the chance to sleep in. Jesse and I walked along the lake to the Surgical History Museum; he was really enthused about going there. The museum was interesting, had a lot of old tools and cases with surgical tools for cutting people’s extremities off, my favorite thing was a wheel chair.
Picked up Dustin and had him shadow me while we started tours, at 6 Katie, Dustin and I went over to help the Lynx with a day sail because they were short handed. I felt slow because I didn’t know where their lines were, but it was a good day. Their braces and halyard were so easy compared to ours; it’s amazing how easy everything was. We even helped put the boat to bed when we got back to the dock; Katie and I climbed and helped furl their topsail. It was dark and we were trying to figure out how they tied their gaskets, but ended up doing it the Bounty way.
The amazing thing about their rig was that the ratlines are considerate of how big of a step people take and how wide their feet are, it was really comfortable to climb. Getting up to the crosstrees were weird because you have to climb over the futtocks you don’t have much of an option and they are really skinny.
And there were more fireworks tonight; they are having them every night of the festival.
