Time: 1500 EDT

Anchor watches kept an eye to the weather overnight as we expected a cold front to pass after midnight with a promise of rain. By breakfast time the front had not yet passed, but the sky looked threatening. We began “field day” and once underway, the wind and rain began. It had quite a punch to it as winds blew Force 6 and 7 before abating. We motored our clean ship into New Bedford by noon and had our last muster of our wonderful four day trip with St. Margaret McTernan School..

Wind: SW'ly, Force 3 rising to Force 6/7 and shifting W'ly
Visibility: Sunny, Excellent reduced with frontal passage

Captain: Amanda Madeira
Program Coordinator: Crista Mellican

 

We would like to thank Lotus and IBM for donation of software, hardware and funding to enable regular electronic updates from the ship.
