Day came in cloudy with small rain squalls. By noon had cleared with lovely blue skies. Sundry silly Aprils fools pranks about the ship. Wore ship again at mid-day. New Royal yard almost done, almost ready to send aloft and cross.. Shifting out the fore-upper topsail, send down for repairs. Has a couple small tears and holes. Celestial nav class going well, and Rules of the Road class starting today.
