They were accepting day-tripper crew to take the ship on to its next port-of-call in the US. Cost something like $750 but I came very close to signing on. Magnificent ship and very authentic from the mast down to the keel. I highly recommend Blue Latitudes by Tony Horwitz, for more on Captain Cook.

In answer to your question about the Extension Office. It is a non-credit educational system located in every state in the US operated by the universities to provide education and training to farmers, housewives and young folks in areas of rural production of produce, animals, homemaking. Our state and county fairs hold competitions and award prizes for adults and children in samples of flowers,vegetables, animals. That is how young folks learn to be farmers. Scholarships are awarded to youth who go into Extension work in the colleges. These folks are employees of the state.<br />QMMAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04721708092323894355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-31229040941047518772011-02-26T12:52:33.962+00:002011-02-26T12:52:33.962+00:00broken biro: Bark has its origin in Middle English...broken biro: Bark has its origin in Middle English and is a variation of barque, a three masted ship but now applied loosely to many types of boat.Bob Scotneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662958579705940009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-50462756148131469492011-02-26T11:36:26.584+00:002011-02-26T11:36:26.584+00:00A history of voyage very interestingA history of voyage very interestingKodjo Deynoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01299996598769756878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-50569502534834945612011-02-26T08:22:19.358+00:002011-02-26T08:22:19.358+00:00Bloscar?
