JUNK's maiden voyage Sunday

This coming Sunday, at noon, Junk will set forth on her first test run, or "shakedown cruise" before the big June 1st departure.

Captain Charles Moore and a crew from Algalita will tow Junk with the ORV Alguita out to Catalina, where Joel and Marcus will have a chance to see how she handles wind and waves.....


Hard to believe that what looked like this just a month ago:






















Came to look like this a week ago,




















......and by Sunday will be a complete boat, with masts, sail, and two sailors with some serious cojones.


We'll return to the Aquarium marina Monday around noon. After Monday, Joel and Marcus should have a much better idea of any final tweaking that needs to be done, and an inkling of what they have in store for them......
