We are dockside at Fan Pier at the Federal Court House Building in Boston after two programs today with Outdoor Explorations.

The first sail from 9am to 3pm took us out to the Harbor islands and back with a shorter version of last Sunday's sail. Participants steered, navigated, looked at plankton and climbed out onto the bowsprit. The groups were small so the staff had some great interaction and could focus on individual questions and interests more.

The second sail was a Board Event for OE. We appreciate the commitment and enthusiasm exhibited by all aboard as we left the dock with rain showers (not much wind) threatening every step of the way. Event so, informal stations, a wonderful spread of food, silent auction and a great set of speakers made the experience challenging and full. We motored (actually the jumbo was up for a short time) over to see the USS Constitution, up under the Mystic Bridge and back along the Boston waterfront.

Wind: SW'ly, Force 2
Visibility: Sunny, Excellent, then reduced in rain.

Captain: Amanda Madeira/Gregg Swanzey
