Life aboard the Liberty Schooner is tough.
There is always work to be done, and the crew are expected to ensure that the boat is ship-shape.
Decks need to be scrubbed daily, dorade cowls need to be polished, lines tended to etc.
Here is our First-Mate, Spencer, known on this particular voyage as Spencerlicious, taking care of our customers. Happy 21st birthday Sarah.

Wednesday we had the joy of hosting Rad's 30 Birthday party aboard the Liberty Schooner. The theme was pirates, and the group did a fantastic job dressing for the occasion. We flew the Jolly Roger from the pig-pole on the main mast.
We picked them up at the T-dock in Chelsea Piers, and had the boat packed to capacity.
The group of party goers were wonderful, respectful and fun to be with.
Happy Birthday Rad.

Well today I did something fun...well as I call it something terrible! Today I was riding my bike with Miss Juliet and when we came back I was walking my bike onto our slip and my bike started to fall. So, I pushed my bike back from falling into the water and I fell in instead. Everyone ran to pull me out of the water, but not before I swallowed some. Thanks to our neighbor Dave and my mom they hosed me down immediately on the dock.

We miss Theresa and Ashlee already! It was an awesome summer for both of these girls, and we wish they could have stayed longer. While with us, they were valuable members of the crew. We believe their lives have been transformed by the experience. Good bye, we miss you. - The Liberty Crew

Yesterday morning Philip's dad and Marlene took Luke, Ruthie and me to the Newport Mall. We went to the Disney store, KB toys, Clair's and this other store where Luke and I got Webkinz. I got a Bengal Tiger and Luke got a Leopard. I named mine Jasmine and Luke named his Jacob. At the Disney Store I got a CD. The CD was Miley Cyrus's new one. Then we went to get some Dip in Dots. I got Cotton Candy. When I got near the end I mixed mine together and got lavender and it tasted like bubblegum. Then for lunch I got Chicken with fries and an orange Gatorade. Then we got on the light rail and went back to the boat. But when we got back, the boat was heading out for a proposal.
Two nice folks came aboard and the guy convinced his girlfriend that it was a boat ride for her birthday. When Liberty got out the Statue of Liberty he got down on his knee and proposed. The crew was happy that she accepted. We had flowers and music to go along with it all. Then we decided to go for a walk. I and Luke found a secret fort. Then we went down to the Light Ship and adopted Luke's Webkinz. After that we got ready for our sail. We had really misbehaved people. Especially the children. But we came back safely. I went to bed at around 8:30. When I woke up this morning the Decks were a mess. Today Andrea's parents came to help her move into her new apt. in Hoboken. They also brought us lots of gifts for taking care of Andrea. I got a Yummy Land Musical Lip Gloss Popcycle doll. Everyone got nice gifts as well. Theresa got a big bag but she is not here with us now. We all miss her very much. Bye

This is my 2nd time in the city. Barbara, Deb, Andrea, Chris, Rich, Theresa and I went to the city. We got on the water taxi. Barbara has never been to the city before, so it was her first time. We then walked over to the subway to go to Time Square. Then when we got off the subway we went to Toys-R-Us. We went to go get candy in Toys-R-Us. Then we went to the M&M factory. It was so cool. I got 1 M&M from the factory. I saw a baby Chihuahua. He was 3 weeks old. Then we went over to Starbucks. Theresa and I got hot chocolate. When we left it was raining. Then we walked to Rockefeller Center in the pouring rain, thunder and lightning. Then we walked over to Radio City. After that we headed back to the subway and then walked over to the Path Way. Deb, Barbara and Andrea got left on the Path Way because Deb was trying to wake up this old guy. Chris and Rich were trying to open the doors but they couldn't so we had to go with Chris and Rich back to the boat. Then we wounded up singing Mary Pippins and something else. We had to go pick up the girls because they were lost. I went to bed at like 2:30 in the morning. That was a busy day.
