The first time I joined them, was November 2017 as a volunteer for winter maintenance. I joined because I really wanted to support the project of keeping alive classic ships.
Since the first moment I noticed this ship is one in her kind. She was handbuilt as part of a very personal project, and that gives the ship some kind of own personality that really makes her special. And it is that personality what, in my opinion, gather around such amazing people as I found there.
I have seen how this ship changed many lives and helped many people to find out a lot about themselves. In my particular case, when I finished my first period onboard as a volunteer I felt that I had been watching the world throught a small porthole before, and that the weeks I spent onboard opened a lot of windows in my lives giving a panoramic view about how big the world was. And the most incredible part was, that all that happened being moored by the river.
I had the pleasure of joining them for a month as a crew member after that. It was aswell an incredible experience, and it is the perfect evidence of how this ship always find the way to keep her crew around.
