Ship's Log

Nomi and Allegra

Today we woke up at 6:30 am in order to follow our navigation course that we planned the night before. A few people woke up extra early to haul up anchor in order to allow us to get an early start motoring. We started hauling sails while motoring and were able to efficiently rais…

Alrighty, so, today we woke bright and early to find that our lovely crew had motored us over to Culebrita while we slept, like babes, in our beds. Sun was out--it was a really nice day. Everyone was ready for some good ol' Nick breakfast. It was oatmeal again--and somehow even o…

Dov, Max, Lexie

We woke in a cold sweat to the metallic heaving of our engine below. Vroom! Crank! Vroom! Grr! We shook ourselves our of sleep, and pounced up the ladder to the deck for morning muster. Breakfast was called. It was time to feed! Eggs became quesadillas, and before we knew it, it …

All Hands (Anchor Watch Activity)

Early this morning, we set out on a 50 mile sail from Buck Island to Isla de Vieques, filled with learning seamanship skills and reflecting on our experiences aboard Roseway so far. A few crew members got up early to get underway before breakfast. We worked together to raise all …

Happy Halloween!  Today I was awoken, and none too excited to get out of bed, I merely rolled over.  Laying there, I wondered what all the commotion and noise was up on deck, and I only realized it after a classmate shouted in celebration.  “It’s Halloween!” I excl…
