Ernestina Logbook Page

Date: Wednesday, July 12, 2000
Time: 2200 EDT

Schooner Ernestina lays alongside EYE OF THE WIND at Hoosac Pier in Charlestown Navy Yard now for the night after a very busy day of Members Sails (10am-noon & 2pm-4pm) and an evening sail and reception for Fleet Capital organized by Meetings Etc. Inc.

The winds are light and the weather is beautiful. But navigating Boston Harbor with so many small boats transiting from Tall Ship cluster to Tall Ship cluster around the harbor makes for stop and go traffic.

It is a pleasure to be able to offer members the opportunity to view this event from the water at no additional charge. It makes the on-the-water experience that much more available to everyone.

We are pleased to host Fleet Capital aboard since it gives us an opportunity to chat about the ongoing work of the ship bringing powerful learning experiences to school children of the Commonwealth and beyond.

The chart to the right shows the overall track of the ship from July 10th (in orange) showing the ship entering Boston Outer Harbor via Nantasket Roads and July 11th (in blue) for the Parade of Sail with the mustering area in Broad Sound. The track alongside Thompson Island runs down toward JFK Library and UMASS Boston, the spur east of Long Island is the originating point from anchorage in the shelter of Long, Gallops and Georges Islands the night before the July 11th Parade.

Wind: light
Visibility: Excellent

Captain: Amanda Madeira
Program Coordinator: Crista Mellican

We would like to thank Lotus and IBM for donation of software, hardware and funding to enable regular electronic updates from the ship.
