Greenport High School Overnight Sail
May 16-17, 2003 ~ Second Day

 

The chart to the right shows both days of our track. We went out the first day on the red track and came back on the green today.

After a cold dark night at anchor in Cherry Harbor in the lee of Gardiners Island, all hands were on deck at 0600 to get underway for our return to Greenport.

The students set the Foresail (scandalized), and hauled the starboard anchor and chain using the windlass on the foredeck.

The steady NE breeze pushed the Schooner across Gardiner’s Bay and watches took turns eating below.

At 0900 we struck sail off Greenport, and returned all students to their parents waiting on the Town Pier.

In the afternoon Ernestina held an OPEN SHIP in conjunction with the East End Maritime Museum, (sponsored by North Fork Bank).

Visitors came aboard to learn of the ships vast history, and experience traditional skills such as Caulking the deck and Knot tying
