Nice reward for all their hard work over the winter. Chris Fedden talked his wife Trudy into laundering all the fart sacks and pillow cases in the forward crew's quarters, and our volunteers from Wildwood School are in the process of making up all the bunks again. All the decks are freshly painted and the place really looks sharp. Two weeks to get the ship all cleaned up and ready for inspection, and the crew is really turning to do the job. Tops on the list is Gene Cellini .
Gene is back in a big way, now that it's getting warm enough to paint.
I've never seen a guy so happy with a paintbrush. Gene is in the process of repainting all the interior decks. He's taking his time cutting them all in and touching up the white and green on the bulkheads, and painted out emergency radio. His primary helper is Erik Collin . Erik successfully finished both his winter projects, the armory and the bread locker, and is now a free agent, concentrating on interior touch up with Gene.
