FEATURE 13 Biggest loser in Protecteur

Photos by SLt Olivier Tachereau Sixteen-year-old Petty Officer First Class Cadet Melissa Covey displays her sea cadet training by “whipping” the end of the line on board HMCS Oriole. The ship had just spent five days at sea, sailing from Port Alberni down the West Coast of North America to Oakland, Calif. Cadet Covey is with three other sea cadets from across Canada who are spending six weeks in the 87-year-old vintage sailing ship. All line and sail handling in Oriole is done by hand as the ship has none of the modern mechanical fittings. It takes every member of the ship’s company to handle the ship. An avid sea cadet sailor, Cadet Covey is the daughter of Tammy Covey of Timmins, ON, and is a student at O’Gorman High School. Upon graduating, she plans to pursue a career as a news reporter. Royal Canadian Sea Cadets is a national youth program for 12 to 18 year olds sponsored by the civilian Navy League of Canada and the Canadian Forces. For more information check out www.cadets.ca.
