Winter Speaker Series - Josh Herman

Josh Herman was generous enough to give a night out of his week to speak last night, Tuesday, February 15, at the WaterFront Center. Josh, Joe and the Volunteers have been putting in long hours recently so we are extremely grateful for Josh’s willingness to take some time away from sleep and his family. His presentation on how the Christeen’s repairs have been progressing, some of the challenges to date and also how the repairs have been accomplished to date, all with excellent detail. Those of you who attended were able to ask your questions, we hope Josh got to them all!  And everyone had a great opportunity to meet and listen to a very gifted shipwright.

We also were treated to some snacks and coffee provided by Tina from Sweet Tomato check out her company’s website: http://www.mysweettomato.com/ Her treats provided some added fuel to take in all the information Josh passed on to us as his talk grew from Christeen repairs to stories of other ships and boats he has worked or is currently working on throughout his career. These stories were all accompanied by some great photos! Below you will find a video on the Christeen portion of Josh’s talk, to get the rest of Josh’s experiences you are going to have to wait for the next time he speaks for our winter speaker series . Maybe if you’re lucky he’ll share a story with you if when you volunteer to help repair Christeen!
