July 2000
The Frying Pan was pleased to be a part of the OPSail 2000 festivities.  The ship was on station for 3 days over the Fourth of July weekend, marking the corner of Robbins Reef and the Kill Van Kull in New York Harbor.  While we had some difficulties during this shake-down trip with a clogged fuel filter, she ran great with the rebuilt transmission.  She looked fantastic, too, with new hull paint and freshly painted decks.
