Remarks: On Monday Spring held a workshop on celestial navigation. Mike and Kate rust busted the starboard fore shroud bottle screws, Edmund and Pol did patch servings aloft. Captain did a ratline instruction for lead seamen who will teach others. Good sailing day after some morning rain squalls – no real punch in them. All good.
