CSF's goal is to bring east coast maritime living history enthusiasts and organizations together through Luna, our floating class room under construction. The more folks we have involved, the sooner we can be on the water bringing this great resource to the public.

We are also looking for a ride from St. Augustine Fla. to Hampton Va. for a new to us 50 foot spar, which will be our new bowsprit and boom. If anyone has any trucking company contacts that might not mind sending it up on top of a trailer or deadhead trip, please let us know.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask..

The Colonial Seaport Foundation is approved by the IRS as a 501c3 non-profit organization.

Donations are tax exempt to the full extent of the law.

well, tis over. we had a great event! despite the light crowd, we brought in some pennies and gained new members. This includes two new corporate sponsors, Principal Advantage a political work group, and the Virginia Port Authority, yes the ports officially recognize us now! We look forward to working with these groups in the future and thank them for their support!

At last nights Blackbeard's Crew meeting, the crew presented us with a donation from the last six months of events!

I'll be getting the Blog up again this weekend with updates on the boat.

Thanks also go to you, our Pub family for your support from afar. We have friends up and down the coast and across the country to California with many points in between. Our big push is to be floating by 2012 and one of my greatest expectations is to welcome all aboard.

HUZZAH!
