Alvei is a big boat. There's 187 ropes aboard weighing around a tonne, and I have to learn what happens when you loosen them and pulls. I also have to learn to tie knots, practice climbing around in the masts, grind rusty shackles and paint them, stowe away food, make maps over the food storing so we know where everything is, clean, and wash and out away. Luckily I'm not doing it alone, it looks like we'll be a crew of ten on board as well as Cap'n Evan.
It's pretty good and pretty busy, I'll try to remember to take pictures and update you guys. Most of all it's fun.
