Boston University Explorations in Learning
Five-day program from New Bedford, MA to New Haven, CT

Tuesday, July 22 through Saturday, July 26, 2003

Day Five: July 26

Wake up at 6am brought on a hardy breakfast on deck and chores before another cool and satisfying swim call was in order. Following our swim call with everyone safe on board our anchor raised, we set off for final destination in New Haven, CT. Weather was beautiful once again and watch groups broke into responsibilities including bow  and helm while other students worked on boat checks.

The sail over to New Haven took most of the day due to a gentle breeze. Students set sails and learned about wooden boat building and tools of the trade. Dr Walker gave another interesting lecture on Maritime History as the day flew by.

Soon we found ourselves in New Haven and at the point to disembark. With a farewell to all the BU students who made the week such a memorable one, hugs and many pictures later we said goodbye until next time (we hope many students will be back to volunteer!!!!!!)
