With the a continuing good weather there was a flurry of sailmaking all morning. While the Captain worked on a new mizzen staysail, Sailmaker John worked on manrope covers, and in the meantime gave a workshop on seaming for those just learning. The 8-12 watch spent the morning sending up gear in anticipation of bending on the upper staysails, while the normal everyday tasks went on giving the ship a busy feel.
