Ship's Log

My day commenced with an early 3:30am wake up.  I waddled up the steps restricted with six upper layers and three bottom layers.  I scanned my dark surroundings.  I found myself shocked by my powerful night vision, coupled with the bright moon.  Satisfaction f…

Then we were off.  Once we sailed away and waved our parents goodbye, there was every emotion circulating through my body.  I was excited, nervous, but also terrified.  Within seconds of leaving the dock, Captain Flansburg had me take the helm.  His calm demea…

The emerging swells crash against the bow of the boat, the wind facing in the southwest direction.  The mildness brings on thoughts of the short yet complex journey that brought us to this reality. Last Sunday, car after arrived at Eagle Pond.  The differentiation …

This morning we woke up to a rainy, foggy sky. We put on our raincoats an headed up on deck for yet another great breakfast by Nick. It was scrambled eggs with a side of delicious bacon. After eating, we did our usual morning chores. During our chores the fog cleared up and the s…

We woke up to the robust scent of french toast. We then set sail for Manchester-by-the-Sea. We raised the jib, jumbo, foresail and mainsail. While we were underway, we got to go out on the bowsprit and climb the rigging! The scenery looked right out of a movie. Next, we went righ…

We started out the day with another great breakfast by Nick. He cooked debatably spicy scrambled eggs with bacon. We also did morning stretches and did 4 "I'm a Stars" because it's day 4. During our daily morning muster, Hugh told us a little about the USS Constitution ship. Afte…

Nathaniel, Dez, and Bella

A day of voyage around the city started out because the shaft to the engine is misaligned so people have to re-align it. Although we have this problem, that didn't stop us from having a good day. Between 12:30 and 1:00 is when our adventures began. We went to the Freedom Trail, C…
