☁️ **Cloudy skies, busy hands, and a whole lot of teamwork!** ⚓

It's Thursday, and our amazing WOW (Women on the Water) volunteers are back in the shop, rolling up their sleeves and getting the work done!

Boat maintenance doesn't stop when sailing season ends. There's plenty to do to keep our fleet shipshape, and we're so grateful for these women who show up, pitch in, and keep our maritime community going strong. 💙

Rain or shine, the work goes on!

A big THANK YOU to our WOW crew! 🙌

⚓ **Good things happen when a crew comes together!**

Captain Leigh is hard at work on our work boat, getting things shipshape for the seasons ahead! 🚤

Our amazing WOW (Women on the Water) crew has been rolling up their sleeves and volunteering Thursdays and Saturdays to help with boat maintenance and preparation for winter.

From time on the water to time in the boatyard, these women continue to show what a strong maritime community looks like. We’re so grateful for their energy, teamwork, and willingness to pitch in!

💙 Thank you, WOW gals!

⚓ **Something new is taking shape at the Sail, Power & Steam Museum!**

Behind the scenes, we’re working on a refreshed website and planning an exciting season of winter programs. There’s a lot happening at the Museum, even as the days get shorter and the boats settle in for the season.

We’re looking forward to sharing more of our maritime history, introducing new programs, and bringing our community together through the winter months.

Stay tuned — we’re just getting started!

🌊 **And while we’re planning ahead, we want to hear from you:** What would you love to learn about this winter? Maritime history, boatbuilding, sailing, steam engines, or something else?
