May 20, 2020 — Looking Up
Looking aloft at a jammed halyard, and around at crew each unwilling to be hauled up, Ava Mandeville volunteers. She goes aloft so for the sake of her shipmates. She doesn’t clear the jam or overcome her fear, but she feels proud she tried for the good of the whole boat and her courage inspires a shipmate to clear the jam. (Please excuse the poor sound quality from Zoom. It happens.)
