Work Party Tips.

1. Wear cloths that you don't mind getting dirty, torn or damaged.
2. Remember to bring work gloves.
3.  If you plan to go off on "exploring the ship", bring a flash light. Some of the rooms down below do not have lighting (or it is hard to find the light switch in the dark)

We will be adding assorted
maps and directions here
