Here is the first video from our Kits-4-Kids deliveries to small remote villages in the Anambas Islands. Look them up on Google maps. More to come as we have been quite busy these past weeks.
Just before COVID hit the wonderful people at Mandala Trust fund sponsored solar power systems for health posts on two of the islands we assist.
Sight by Sail is a program Historic Vessel Vega began over 10 years ago to bring simple reading glasses to the islands we assist.
Like I said in a recent post we are now out making deliveries of donated educational and medical supplies to some of the remote islands we assist. After all the COVID mess it feels as if we are starting all over again. This little film is from our recent voyage from Batam to the Anambas Islands. Hope you enjoy it. There will be more in the next few days – if the signal lasts – as we begin making those deliveries.

Dead eyes and lanyards are still entirely practical today. We use them on Historic Vessel Vega because they are resilient, easy on the spars and rigging, and their elasticity is quite noticeable. They give under sudden strains and bad weather, and in times of stress (God forbid!) are quickly cut away.
We have been quite busy these past weeks getting Vega ready to restart her deliveries this year.
