Black Jack Commodore's Sail Past



The Captain and Crew of the Black Jack were very busy this past Sunday as it was the Commodore's sail past at BYC.  We had a group of 16 people out to help get the ship in great shape and handle sail once the ship was underway.  
Captain McNaught wanted to extend a big thanks to everyone for a terrific day and to mother nature for holding the rain off until the end of the day!  

Mr. Drinnan



Sam Drinnan is an old salt around the Bytown Brigantine program.  He started in the program in 2001 and has spent every summer with us since.  Sam will hold the position of first mate aboard the Fair Jeanne this summer.  We are very lucky to have him aboard for another season as the ship heads to Halifax.

Great Lake Swimmers Visit Fair Jeanne



Saturday was a fun filled event as the Great Lake Swimmers took the stage on top of the main cabin top on board the Fair Jeanne.  There was a crowd of several hundred who enjoyed the terrific concert on Brockville's waterfront.  

The crew of the Fair Jeanne worked very hard to get the ship in tip top shape.  The ship was dressed, the crew looked great in their uniform.  Thanks to everyone for making the day such a great success!
