Greenport Schools.... You can see the track of the program. Trip #3

For the past few days Matt Manfredi has been the school leader for these student programs. Today he has passed this role on to trusted team members and signed on as crew for the final voyage.

Once again we boarded and sailed off under fair skies bound for a quiet harbor, though many were reluctant to sleep with the excitement of new surroundings and experiences. Morning was slightly overcast and promising only very light breezes so we chose to stay at anchor and launch the dories. Though rowing can be quite a challenge the students got the hang of it quickly, and those who were not taking their turn rowing could see the progress from high over the decks in the rigging or out on the bow sprit. Later in the morning we raised anchor and set sail to make our way back to Greenport. Again students stood watch and learned of the Maritime History that has helped to develop their area.

Three pm had us back at dock giving final farewells to the seventh grade class. The school and community have been great hosts and given us such a warm welcome.

Many thanks go to Dennis Claire who has been responsible for pulling together the many facets that a program and community effort such as this require!
