Coming up next Thursday, our wharfinger Bruce will be giving a talk at the Museum on the “never before told true story of the incredible intertwined histories of St Roch and North Star of Herschel Island”.   Free with museum admission or with museum membership.  https://vancouvermaritimemuseum.com/event/sisters-ice

The Robert Allan got a fresh coat of white paint on the interior and blue on the sheer plank last Saturday.  Really brightens her up!

We also raised a glass of rum in honour of the birthday of Joost (Maritime Museum Executive Director, far left) – he is a great supporter of our club, and it was nice to give him some recognition!

 

After a pretty quiet summer in the shop, we finally finished the last bit of sanding and the first coat of varnish on our Robert Allan refurbishment.

With the onset of the rainy season, and the annoying habit of the otters using our boat covers as trampolines, our boats were getting pret-ty full!  Thank goodness we’ve got a good pump to work with.
