I cannot believe it's been two weeks since our last post. It seems like yesterday in Bluenose time but yet the ship looks substantially different and there is visual proof that a great deal of work has been completed by our crew.

Good afternoon,

I feel like I am stuck in an old black and white movie where they show the passage of time by ripping pages from a calendar. Here we are about to start the fourth week of refit and I am certainly beginning to feel the pressure of time and schedule. “Time and tide wait for no man,” as Chaucer once wrote. I’m sure the feeling of this proverb is spread across the cultures of the globe, this version seems apt for rigging a schooner in the east coast spring.
