Barnabas Sets Sail for Ullapool!

After a busy week of sorting, sieving, and stashing, Barnabas is finally prepared to depart for Ullapool! It's been a long but productive haul, and today's log details the final touches before setting sail.

*All Aboard!*

Nearly everything has been meticulously loaded back onto the vessel. There's even a fresh stock of mackerel hooks and weights, promising fruitful fishing adventures ahead. For shipwright Dave, the arrival of a vast assortment of cut hardwood signifies exciting new projects – perhaps shelves to hold those aforementioned bottles of Cornish Sea Salt!

*Salty Delights*

Speaking of salt, today's highlight was the delivery of a large shipment of Cornish Sea Salt. This delectable cargo, currently residing in Dave's van, will be loaded tomorrow in 12 beautifully crafted boxes.

*A Big Thank You*

While there's no more room for physical donations onboard, the CMT extends its gratitude to those who've supported their journey. If you're feeling generous, you can still make a contribution via their website [cornishmaritimetrust.org].

*Chocolate Fix Anyone?*

The one exception to the full-load rule? A delicious pre-departure chocolate cake! If you're in the Newlyn area tomorrow, feel free to swing by and join the celebratory send-off. The festivities will culminate in a post-sail gathering at the Fisherman's Rest on the Old Quay – a perfect opportunity to catch up with fellow supporters and crew.

*The Adventure Begins*

The CMT extends its heartfelt thanks to their followers for their unwavering support. With just a quick deck scrub remaining, Barnabas is ready to embark on its exciting voyage to Ullapool. Don't forget, there's still one space available on the Ayr to Holyhead leg, including a thrilling stop at the Isle of Man during the TT race! Contact Toby if you're interested or know someone who might be.

Fair winds and following seas, Barnabas! We'll be following your journey with anticipation.
