Dighton Middle School sailed for a second day with Judy Parker's 7th grade class aboard.

A day just as beautiful as the first and a program almost identical.  Those who were on the shore for side field trips yesterday came sailing with us today.  This was their opportunity to compare New Bedford's whaling heritage to the industry found presently working from the harbor.  Sailing aboard the 107-year-old schooner kept the contrast alive.   The Hurricane Barrier and the Waste treatment Facility look so different from the water, but you can't mistake their connection to our environment and quality of life here.   Hopefully all today have gained a new appreciation for the interrelationship of our communities and the waters that surround and sustain us. Thanks to the hard work of Judy Parker (a Sea Connections Alum) and staff this unique multi day experience was achieved.
