Today is the first whole day after having two of our Tall Ship girls leave the program. No one really slept the day before. We were all mentally and physically exhausted but as a Tall Ship girl, there’s still work that has to be done, regardless.
We headed toward Puerto Plata to pick up our teachers Ann. She went to the airport yesterday morning to go with the two ladies that left. So we had to flake chain, take down the sails, and launch the small boat. Sweat rolls down our face. So much work to be done with fewer hands. After picking up the teacher we took in the small boat, we took in the anchor, and hauled up the sails.
Finally we separated into our watches and we could see how tired we were, and not only from having to work in the heat(because we're used to that by now) but having to realize there are less hands, so you have to work like there’s no tomorrow.
