Kinship - May 4--Preparations for the voyage almost complete

The crew of Kinship has been diligently at work in Nanny Cay, preparing the boat for the long voyage. Each day we have been checking all ships systems, provision, and of course, Murphy's Law has been alive and well and given the crew of the good ship Kinship some unexpected stuff to fix. Of course, in grand maritime tradition, the crew has made sure to partake of postprandial libations at the end of each work day (and sometimes even in the afternoon).

With our fourth crew member arriving late last night, Kinship now has a full complement of competent crew: Tim Szabo, our fearless Captain Mother, Ursula Loucks in the radio shack, Mia Karlsson on deck and galley, and Ben Eriksen from Long Island, who was appointed the resident bilge monkey as all the better positions on the boat had already been spoken for before his late arrival.

We feel confident that the boat and her motley crew are ready for the big blue circle of endless horizons.

And so we say:

There are good ships,
And there are wood ships,
The ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships, are Kinships,
And may they always be.
