The Schooner Mary Day
Quarterdeck Philosopher
“Look to this day; For it is life, the very life of life..”
Often recited by Barry, this sanskrit proverb is the philosophy of which he breathes. Passionate of not only the tangible world around him, but the connectivity of it all. He strives to keep harmony with people and nature through his spiritedness of just being real and authentic. “What could possibly go wrong?”

Macro Momma
Jen sees the world through a macro lens, often paying attention to the teensy-weensy details others brush aside. She enjoys guiding others in seeing “macro-ly” to really experience the beautiful world we live in. Home is where her heart is and she strives to make the schooner a home where everyone feels welcome.
Creator of all Things Grease & Metal
Sawyer possesses a unique set of skills; marrying grease, metal, functionality, and art all in one. Growing up on Mary Day, learning to improvise was his biggest lesson. That life lesson is now
leading him to work on the ocean in a bigger capacity as 3rd engineer onboard RV Atlantis. Sawyer is a huge part of our maintenance crew as he is often the one crafting something new or welding something old for Mary Day. A proud Kinglet, he too shares his passion for caretaking for others.

Alpine
Headquarters PITA
​
Conditional Lover
Tester of patience, door hardware, bedding materials and all varieties of snacks, alive or dead.
Youngest of the Mary Day crew, he has yet to depart command headquarters to experience windjamming at its finest. If you are wondering can cats walk on water, Alpine can and has! Fearful of the tantalizing breeze that ruffles his manly demeanor, he has neglected to take his position as the official Mary Day feline on board, as three previous cats have. Perhaps the name we gave him steered him in the other direction?
