Update from Fair Jeanne

After a great visit to Pugwash, NS, where she spent the weekend, the Fair Jeanne made her way to Summerside yesterday. When the boat came alongside, the cook was presented was a giant bag of P.E.I. potatoes as a welcome to the province. There has been a long awaited break from the rain and last night the trainees were given a chance to explore the town which included a swim at the rec centre.

Our crew had to say a very sad goodbye to the friends they have made on the Roseway as they parted ways but we wish them fair winds on the rest of their journey and hope they stay in touch and we are able to sail together again next season on the Great Lakes.

A reception was hosted for the entire ship's company at the Marine Training Centre before setting off for a 35 hour trip to Miramichi. The crew seems in good spirits and are hoping to get some good sailing in during this time. This is the first time the trainees will experience being underway overnight.

Just a reminder to parents that the trainees are to be picked up in Miramichi tomorrow (August 5) at 1200hrs at Ritchie Wharf in Miramichi.

Sail On!
