A few days ago I spoke with Hawaiian Chieftain First Mate Cody Carnathan about what it’s like living on a tall ship, the ships’ educational programs and a few other interesting things.  

The Hawaiian Chieftain and Lady Washington will be at the Bonnie Gool Dock (by the Adorni Center) until May 1, when they leave for Crescent City.
