Friday, October 16, 2020 It t’was the day before the Big Apple and the boys in the focs’l where all sound asleep. Suddenly we all awoke to the strumming of McKenzie’s wonderful wake up song. After morning chores and a deck wash in the rain we were greeted by a great br…

Thursday, October 15, 2020 With the New York City skyline off the starboard bow, Roseway sailed down the Long Island sound. It was one of our first days sailing with no motor and with the boat perfectly heeled over. After being docked in Mystic for five days it was nic…

Wednesday, October 14, 2020 As I stepped onto the slippery grey boat named shrimp, my feet almost slipped out from underneath me, but luckily they did not. I sat down by tiller and got ready next to Susanna to steer the boat. I looked up at Roseway, and Ollie was laugh…

Yesterday afternoon, Roseway's docklines were cast at Chubb's Wharf in Mystic, CT and she maneuvered her way down the Mystic River into the Long Island Sound. She is underway for the Chesapeake Bay and crew and students are thrilled to step back into their voyaging schedule …

Saturday, October 10, 2020 It has been lovely being docked here in Mystic, Connecticut. The seaport village is very quaint and quintessential Connecticut. We can see small stone buildings on the water and looking out across the Mystic river there is turning foliage. Today wa…

Friday, October 9, 2020 Today we had the first deckhand turnover- I’ll explain briefly what this means. The twenty students aboard Roseway are divided into three watches. Each watch has a mate and two deckhands assigned to them. Every third of the voyage the deckhands and ma…

Thursday, October 8, 2020 It has been a great day so far aboard Roseway as we are anchored in New London, CT. We plan to move spots later this evening and drop anchor near Fishers Island before setting sail for Mystic, CT and it sounds like we will have a fun few days there.…
