Cornish Maritime Trust lugger Barnabas sets sail for Ullapool and new masts.

 


News from CMT: The crew of Barnabas had a busy week sorting, sieving, and stashing everything they needed for their voyage to Ullapool. They even loaded new mackerel hooks and weights, and a large shipment of Cornish Sea Salt (which is still in Dave's van and will be loaded tomorrow in 12 beautiful boxes).

Unfortunately, there's no more space for physical donations onboard, but the CMT is grateful to everyone who has supported them so far. If you'd still like to contribute, you can visit their website [cornishmaritimetrust.org].

The only thing they're looking for now is a delicious chocolate cake to enjoy before they depart! If you're in Newlyn, come down to see them off and join them at the Fisherman's Rest on the Old Quay afterwards.

The crew would like to thank everyone for their support as they get ready to set sail. They just have to wash the deck quickly, and then Barnabas will be ready to begin its adventure to Ullapool. There's also still one space available on the Ayr to Holyhead leg, with a stop at the Isle of Man during the TT race! Contact Toby if you're interested.

Everyone is excited to see Barnabas sail and follow its journey!
