Hey, I wrote another post about TWBTM. It’s a bit of a catch-all Q and A for anyone thinking about training on a Grays Harbor ship!

Thank you so much for sharing this with the world Renee!!! I did my two weeks on Lady almost six years ago and never looked back. Now I’m a licensed officer of big ol’ windships and engaged to marry someone I met while crewing on Chieftain. I cannot stress enough how important TWBTM is to the tall ships industry and to the individuals who find what they’re looking for up on some topsail yard. This is the best, most affordable, most immersive sail training program in North America and the more people know about it the better!
