Program Update
Update from the Fair Jeanne:
Yes, she still exists! The Fair Jeanne has been undergoing a huge refit this spring as part of a five-year work plan. The ship has been a frenzy of activity all spring. Now the finish line seems to be in sight! Last week the crew delivered her to Prescott where rigging began. This weekend there will be deck tours Saturday and Sunday from about 10-4 each day. If you are curious to see her and the new renovations stop by for a look. Fair Jeanne is currently moored at the Prescott Marina, just south of Water Street.
Update from Black Jack Camp 2
The plan has changed a little bit from what I blogged yesterday. There will still be a whaler expedition, but not for a few more days. When I spoke to Captain McNaught this morning the entire ship’s company was in the midst of making model boats. After then are finished making them everyone will race their boat.
This afternoon will start with a swim...if everyone isn’t already soaked by the rain. Following that the plan is to sail Black Jack back to Ottawa where they will have a pump out and re-fuel. Everyone will spend the night on board the ship.
Yesterday as I reported there was a lot of whaler sailing. Everyone sailed to Mohr Island for a LONG swim. After swimming they sailed back to the island where the tall ship Olympics were introduced. For dinner Kean cooked up a mean chilli soup with cinnamon buns for desert. Once it was dark everyone played a few big group games (burning bridges etc) then it was off to bed!
In case you haven’t already done so, check out our Facebook page. A parent has already uploaded some photos from the first day at camp. Who will be next?
