Fair Jeanne and Black Jack Update

Fair Jeanne:

Fair Jeanne's voyage to Miramichi started yesterday in Pictou, NS. Trainees arrived while the Pictou Tall Ships Festival was still in full swing and were able to see the sights and hear the sounds of the other boats in port. She finally got underway this morning around 0600hrs on route to Charlottetown, PEI. When they arrive in Charlottetown tonight, a number of sail drills will be done before they anchor for the night.

Black Jack:

This morning everyone on the Island, minus the cook it seems, slept in. Pancakes and fried ham were served for breakfast followed by happy hour and a swim. Since it is still early in the day, the plan is next to sail across the river to Fitzroy Park where a game of watermelon football will be played in the water. Following that more sailing until dinner where pasta will be served.

Tonight is ship's concert and a camp fire where things will wind down before bed.

Just a reminder to all parents that pickup is tomorrow at noon in Quyon. Once the crew returns from the Island pictures will be posted from the week on the Blog so keep checking back.

Fair Winds!
