Every year AmeriCorps puts on a Martin Luther King Jr week of service. It's a week that all AmeriCorps members must plan a community service project. We decided to do our project with The Adventuress, an educational schooner from the Puget Sounds and at Irondale Beach. On Saturday and Sunday we met at the Port Townsend Boat Haven with two crews from Port Angeles and helped get the boat in sailing shape. We did everything from take apart pulleys to scraping bottom paint to treating ropes. It was a fun experience, and being able to work with the two other crews from Port Angeles was fun. On Monday we met at Irondale beach to prep the site for volunteers. The task was to get together with the volunteers and remove blackberry and ivy from the beach. We did a great job and had a good time working with all sorts of people.
