Day 3: August 13 PM post

A note from the Head Educator:
All is well. Pos: 42-32.87N x 070-41.66 W
Wind NE force 3. Partly cloudy skies.

We will continue to sail towards gloucester and hopefully continue to practice maneuvering. When appropriate we will turn around and head back towards Boston, but will likely not arrive at the dock until just before 11:00 on the 15th.


Participant update from Stephanie and Markie:
Today, Thursday, we prepared to anchor at Misery Island. We took down and furled all of the sails with all hands on deck. When we got on shore, we took a hike around the island. The view of the shore and surrounding islands was beautiful. After a snack, we all split up to write letters to ourselves reflecting on our past and looking to our future at Colgate. After a picnic lunch, we went to the beach for a swim. It was really cold, but playing water games made it much more fun. We then took the dinghies back to the boat, and raised the sails. After a delicious curry dinner, the winds finally picked up. We are now on our way back home, and are sad that it’s more than half way over.
