Day Five: Ready to Jump

Ganges Harbour, B.C. -> Montague Harbour, B.C.

Route #58R - 5.44 Miles

The crew was up and at it again, while the Curtis was ready to go at 10am. Today is an easy day, as we are heading to Montague, an hour run. The crew got to deal with a little more traffic today, which is a good practice for Victoria, B.C.

Skipper Tom always has a good lesson…and the Scouts are always ready to listen!

When the ship is underway, the Sea Scouts that are off-watch spend time working on their advancements. When walking through the galley you will see Scouts tying knots, quizzing each other on navigation rules or discussing vessel safety checklists.

Many of the Quartermaster Scouts mentor their shipmates and help them advance through the ranks of apprentice, ordinary and able.

Trevor & Caitlyn find a seat on the stern to quiz each other.

Once in Montague, the kids were buzzing around as everyone was getting ready to jump off top side. It’s a loved tradition that happens every cruise. The kids put their life vests on, climb up, and get ready to jump and meet the cold water.

Everyone had their fun jumping over and over, and now it was time to make trips to shore and set up for another BBQ.

Our amazing galley crew supervised by Miss Sue made chicken, homemade potato salad, watermelon, and chips with dip.

With more time to kill after dinner, the scouts played on small beaches around the island and hiked more trails.

As everyone made it back on the boat, we were greeted with a beautiful summer sunset.

There were a few different card games going on in the galley, stories being told, and laughs being shared. Before you knew it, it was time for lights out and another successful day completed on the Charles N. Curtis.
