How do we love Adventuress?

Love comes through in meticulous care and attention to detail. Stewardship to every nook and cranny with every hand carefully, and with purpose, tending to wood, line, and sail

How do we love Adventuress?

Sole by sole swept, washed and squiggied  away from the cracks.  Walking the dog and scrubbing the deck, against the grain, and a bright, fresh water rinse. By coiling lines on deck over and over, working, ballentine, in and out and the dog bone, with precision.  Setting the sails one by one. Making fast each line to a peg or cleat and striking each sail and furling them in at night.

How do we love Adventuress?

With constant maintenence, engineer at hand and tools at the ready, filling tanks and pumping the bilge, With constant watch, around the clock, all eyes involved, checklists and chores. With vegetarian delights  from the galley, stirred and served with love. With constant leadership, deep wells of knowledge captain and mate, bosin and coordinator all working behind the helm and behind the scenes. We love in community with and as passionate and fun wielding deck hands. With adventure seeking participants. And with music and laughter.

How do we love Advenuress?

All hands on deck, nine knots of wind, tacking and pirouettes, broach reach and running. And heeling over with wind in our hair and our souls running wild.  

How do we love Adventuress?

We love in awe of her capability, in awe of her natural connection, in awe of her self contained beauty and power.

How do we love Adventuress?

With reverence to the wind, honor to the tradition, and high on the sail.

How do we love Adventuress?

We just do.
