Date: Saturday, July 29, 2000
Time: 1730 EDT

Today we board folks through the great efforts of Austen Colgate who sailed with Bob Bartlett into the Arctic in 1940 and with our millennium sail sponsors, Yankee Publishing for a sail from 9-12. You can see the partial track to the right as we motored up into the harbor to view the Eagle, Cisne Branco and Libertad, then set sail and sailed out to Portland light and back.

We recruited some new helmspersons for the maneuvers and got a hand on the sail raising form many aboard. We had a wonderful lunch once back at the dock thanks to the efforts of Carlene Carey and the generosity of Yankee Publishing.

We are so pleased to have many of the extended Trowbridge/Hale families aboard who publish a great magazine, travel guide and the well-know farmer's almanac. By the way, you can subscribe to Yankee and support Ernestina.... Just click here.

After the sail, Ernestina crew opened the ship up to the public and then hosted a reception for Tucker Anthony in the evening (tarps over all.) Another busy day.....

Wind: SE'ly and light
Visibility: Good diminishing to cloudy with light rain in the evening.

Captain: Gregg Swanzey
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.
