Wanting to inspire students in a land-locked state to think more about marine life, College of the Atlantic Captain Toby Stephenson delivers a Minke whale skeleton from Bar Harbor, Maine to the Bisbee Science Lab in Arizona.
A 400-mile journey, fog-bound nights, navigational surprises, and long days on the water provide the backdrop for bonding and self discovery for a crew of students and alumnx tasked with bringing a donated sailboat from New York to Bar Harbor.
Working as crew members aboard College of the Atlantic’s marine research boat M/V Osprey, Jenny Reichart ’20 and Uakevelua “Nice” Munekamba ’20 experience the highs and lows of life on the ocean.
