Bayshore: Waterproofing the Rigging

Today we painted Penetrol on pulley blocks along with the other main parts of the ship’s rigging. We took turns sanding, painting the pulleys and cleaning out the insides of the pulleys with diesel fuel. Every now and then we switched groups and jobs.We did this all day* until we decided to play a game to help us learn about the history of Bayshore. The game consisted of splitting up into groups and each one finding 5 questions and quizzing the other groups. Overall, the day was much more relaxing compared to the days before and the sunny weather made it so much better.
