Ecology
and Literature of the Sea
Heading
for Fallen Jerusalem Enjoying a quiet
moment between tacks as we sail up the Drake Channel to
Virgin Gorda
Iguana Iguanas. Everywhere.
The shore's littered with them. They appear to be the
ecological equivalent of a chipmunk...
Starboard
Tack Taken on our first day
on the water. Sunny skies, light seas, and a fair wind. What
more could you ask for?
An
Expanse of Sail With some basic skills
under our belt we raise the topsails to get every ounce of
leverage out of the wind. The elation of knowing that the
vessel is moving directly because of everything we do is
strangely balanced by the knowledge that compared to our
experienced mates and deckhands, from whom we take orders,
we know nothing....
Morring
at St. John We return to United
States territory and await clearance by US
Customs.
Class
Onboard The class takes a
quiet moment in sailing operations to present individual
class projects. Here, Sarah Drummond leads the class in a
discussion of childrens' literature about the
sea...
