Outdoor Explorations

A total of 33 participants joined us for a 7-hour program that included a pleasant motor sail through Boston Harbor, anchoring at Peddocks Island, rig climbing, and many fun hands-on stations.

Participants greatly enjoyed the challenges of raising sail, steering the ship, climbing aloft, and singing chanteys with deckhand Katie Krause.

Other stations included knot-tying, tools of the trade, and an exploration of the "simple machines" we use everyday on ERNESTINA.

Light showers began the day but gave way by late morning to clearing skies and a strong SW breeze.  All participants departed back at Boston Fan Pier after a full day at 1620 hours.

Both before and after the sail Schooner Ernestina crew rigged a port-o-john (photos below right) over onto the deck to make sure the program was accessible to all.
