Liz had her 25th in June and said the schooner looked great! Hard to imagine without me there, as I was trained by the world's number one perfectionist, one Captain James E. Geil. But seems everything is going well. I'm glad to hear it. She'll eat you for lunch if you look away for a second (the schooner, not Liz...well, actually, I don't suggest messing with her either), but I do miss her. Hope all is well. JCR
The Tabor Boy just returned from another winter voyage to the Virgin Islands. We had a total of ninety students aboard during six, ten-day cruises in the islands, and then the schooner crew flew down to help sail back to Massachusets. That completes nine voyages to the Virgin Islands plus one to Panama since 1987.
The schooner is in great shape after several refits. The most recent included a completely new engine room, new wiring, a new cap rail and two additional watertight bulkheads.
It sounds like you are doing well and enjoying the water some with your family. Congratulations! I hope you get the chance to visit for one of the alumni reunions - it would be fun to do some catching up.

How are you? Found the site last week, I hope Spring In Marion is treating you & your family well. I am living in Seattle, with my family ( 3 daughters 5yr,4yr 23mo)) try to get out on the water frequently, hard with little ones but they love "Water Dog" which does make it easier.
I will try to dig up some old pictures form the mid 80's...
Hello Cap:
I'm back from password hell! I was locked out for about 5 months, but I am resting dockside in NJ aboard the USNS SUPPLY T-AOE 6, having completed my second deployment to the Middle East in the last year. I returned to Sandy Hook on Dec. 19th and raced up to Boston to see my children breifly. Instead of flying a holiday flag as I rounded Sandy Hook, I dug out a battle flag that must have been 15 years old. It is 20 by 38 feet and looks great in a 15 knot wind, as long as you have a few guys tend her so that she will not get caught in the stacks and catch on fire! Balancing practical considerations like that, with US Navy rules is always a scream on the bridge. Best Wishes, Matt Twomey

Cap,

Thanks for posting the update re the COI and thanks for all the hard work in keeping the schooner (and her crew) in ship shape!
Great hearing from you - it has been a long time.
