At 1400, 19 participants from the second of four Sound School groups boarded the Ernestina.  While underway students participated in stations on simple machines and boat parts and names.

Today we sailed in the light breeze for the afternoon and came to anchor after dinner. Our anchoring spot is four or five miles from Long Wharf where we departed from at the very entrance to New Haven Harbor. Evening program was spent discussing resource conservation onboard Ernestina, and looking at their system as microcosm of the larger world.

At 2100 anchor watch began with one crew and 2 participants safeguarding the boat for an hour at a time, while others slept.  Low cloud cover offered the opportunity for some great stargazing. ~Kathryn Lindsey
