April 19th and 20th: Marching Through Time (MTT)

This is an excellent timeline event, and we will set up a LSCo
display with the Gyrfalcon. It has everything from Romans and Celts
through the Wild West to the present. It's a more laid-back version
of MTA (no judges) and an excellent recruiting opportunity, since
P.G. County is within striking range of the ship for potential new
members.

Fred Blonder is
coordinating this event.

We meant to make it to this last year, but the Jamestown 400th/Norfolk event got in
the way. They'd love to have the Sæ Hrafn if we can bring her around;
but they'll settle for the Gyrfalcon. The will also have shoreside
areas for a living history camp. A number of other historic and
replica vessels (not the least of which is the Maryland Dove) should
be attending.

October: Hastings XXXX

(Hasting I was in 1969;

this is the 39th anniversary, but the 40th Hastings comemmoration/gathering.)If in PA
we'll take the faering, if at Jefferson Patterson Park, we can bring
the ship, too. More research and negotiation will take place; watch
this space.

Saturday, May 10, 10:00am - Work Session - at the ship in the marina yard . 

Uncooperative weather and small work crews have put us a bit behind schedule for launch, so we need this one last work session to finish up. We will be bottom painting and perhaps doing a bit of additional oiling with Deks Olje, working on the new mast step, preliminary rigging work, squaring away equipment in the dock box, etc. We may have newspaper reporters stopping by. - - wear old clothes that you don't mind getting Deks Olje and black paint on . 

Launch - - . 

Will take place either the week of the 11th or the week of the 18th, notice will be sent out when we have the boat lift scheduled. We are getting the Sae Hrafn in the water early this year, so we may continue to work on some minor improvements, additions, and cosmetics at dock after she is launched.

Saturday, May 17, 10:00am - (Tentative) Voyage/Up-rigging (depending on launch date)- . 

We will be rigging the ship and stepping the mast, after which we will take her out for for an afternoon voyage.
