One surprise in Two Years Before
the Mast
is how much time is spent
on maintenance underway. It was a
point of pride in those days for a
ship to return in better condition
than when it left, and Thomas
followed that lead by making
repairs as we beelined to BC to
add Sarah and his friend Brian
to our crew at Ganges on
Salt Spring Island,
where we bucketed
seawater on red
wine to keep it
from staining
the deck
.
