We're on a mission: “Since the Composites Industry is growing in Maine, it is necessary the workforce develops in this area as well. Current Maine High School students are the workforce of 2015. The Maine Wind Blade Challenge promotes students' curiosity, creativity and drive to experience the world of composites.” (www.mainewindbladechallenge.com)

The second week of January felt just like June in Northeast Harbor, only 70 degrees colder. There was quite the bustle of activity surrounding the launch of M3660 which is on its way to Australia. Production was in the yard on Monday to put the finishing electrical touches on the mast. Tuesday the push was on to get the boat launched with enough tide left to step the mast (we had to launch our inflatable icebreaker to clear out the launch pen).

Despite the winter chill in the air, a startling realization came over me as I was replying to a customer’s email a few days ago. Commissioning season begins in less than 10 weeks! Accordingly, the fall slumber has led to a bustling winter for Morris Service. In addition to the routine maintenance of the nearly ninety boats we store, several, more major projects have developed.

I had a lot of fun working with the MDI High boat building class. The kids were typical high school kids in that they were easily distracted, but when challenged with the work, they responded with interest and even ability. They weren't afraid of the dirt or work but were a little apprehensive of using the machines (thank God).

MARGUARITE had her topsides freshened by the Morris Service Paint Crew, and the results are spectacular. The process of "rolling and tipping" used to paint her planks was pulled off without a hitch, once again displaying the versatility of the Morris Service Team!
