The schooner SoundWaters left Stamford Harbor for the last time this season. We are enjoying a nice sail to Captain’s Cove in Bridgeport where we will continue to run three more weeks of STEM Education programs. The schooner SoundWaters had a great year in Stamford and are looking forward to returning in 2016.

The students from Daly Elementary were all smiles even though they were damp from a passing shower. Most of the students thought their trip on the schooner SoundWaters was the best field trip ever in spite of the rain.
We had an awesome trawl today with the students from Sousa and Daily elementary schools. Among the notable organisms we caught: 30cm dogfish, a 48cm fluke or summer flounder, a 24cm porgy or scup, and slightly “weathered” fishing pole.
