The Raw Faith

If anyone has been reading about the Raw Faith, a galleon, a tall ship, that it's owner, George McKay built by hand as the first wheel-chair-accessible tall ship because his daughter, Liz, has the Marfan syndrome -- it's run into problems and the coast guard has been dispatched to help.

I'm so sorry it's gotten into trouble!! I hope it's not destroyed.

Notes from their online journal. WHEW! :smile:

Message from Long - Thanksgiving Day 11/25/2004 - I received a verbal report from Tina - As of 10am today, the RawFaith galleon was at sea anchor 50 miles off the coast at Portland ME. The report was that she "lost a rudder". It is not known at this time whether the rudder was actually lost or perhaps a rudder cable broke thereby losing the function of the rudder. The coast guard is on the scene and a towing operation is underway. Estimated time of arrival in Portland is 4 PM today. On this Thanksgiving Day, we all give more thanks that the Captain and Crew are safe and we pray for the safe continuance of the RawFaith maiden voyage to Florida.

Too bad they have to sail her this time of year.

Thanks again to USCG!

PS - Jennie, maybe you can help crew sometime!
