Got much of my stuff stowed and have a bunk. A tiny. Tiny. Bunk. Hear the food is good and plentiful though.
My first job was to start this blog. Got some suggestions for sweet names for it. Here are some of the ideas:
- Sponge Vince Greenhorn pants (Thanks, Mr. Buckland)
- Teaching History: Brig it on! (Thanks, other Mr. Kwiatek)
- Vince's Excellent Sea Venture (Thanks, Mrs. Kwiatek)
- Ain't no Sharks on Lake Erie & This Ain't the Indianapolis (Thanks, Mr. Buckland, again)
- Lesson Plannin with Poop Deck Pete (Thanks, Mr. Kapustik)
- Cap'n Kwiatek and the iPatch App (Thanks, Mrs. Kapustik)
I don't have any photos yet but hope that will start soon.
The boat is covered with a giant tarp and our first job starting tomorrow - muster 08:30 - will be to take it off and stow it. Should take a couple of days. Then we will start putting up the rigging.
Met a bunch of the crew. They have personality and seem nice. I am old. I think I am older than the captain.
Ahoy.
