Three-day Program transiting from Newport to Fall
River and finishing in New BedfordToday's
sail was from Fall River back to Newport where
meals were prepared at the Seaman's Church
Institute and where some students stayed the
night. We sincerely appreciate the generocity and
flexibility of the SCI!
The charts to the right show the departure
from Fall River and the transits of the ship in
the lower Bay. (The blue track is really Monday
morning and the start of tomorrow's log)

After leaving the dock and
battleship some of us had slept in, we had a
beautiful day at sea. We sailed through the open
waters at 8 knots. Overall we traveled 45 miles
by sea. The "Carnis" had watch
from 1300 1600 and we did a great job of
steering the fast moving vessel as well as
watching out for buoys and other ships. We also
swabbed the decks, which included hosing down the
deck and scrubbing it clean. Will was hose happy
and got us all soaked. Luckily we had all removed
our shoes and socks and rolled up our pants.
We had a great lunch made
by our cook Doralee. We then had classes taught
by the First mate Fred and our educator Crista.
We learned about tools to make the boat and
marine life. Finally we landed in Newport at 1645
to eat dinner at the Seamans Church
Institute. We had our best dinner there with
lasagna, salad and cheesecake. Then we had the
opportunity to perform skits using a bag of
unknown materials and a stack of index cards
about the Ernestina history. Some of the skits
were hilarious with guys in dresses,
transvestites, and other interesting ideas.
Then, after rebelling
against Sabin we ran to the Pizza Plate and got
pizza and soda. Then we went back to the boat and
slept until we were woken up for night watches,
but most of those happened really late and count
as tomorrow.
