Science on the Sound with Scofield Middle School
Students are measuring the difference in temperature at the surface and at 10 meters deep. It turns out the surface temperature was cooler at 13.9c while it was 14.8c at 10 deep. As one of the students said “Science is awesome!”
The schooner SoundWaters crew teaching at New Lebanon Elementary school
The crew of the schooner SoundWaters brought the STEM Sail Program to the 4th grade students of New Lebanon Elementary today. Although we didn’t go sailing today due to the rain the students learned alot and had a great time as well.
Sailing wing on wing on wing into Greenwich Harbor.
The Crew enjoyed a delightful morning of sail training in Captains Harbor. The best part was sailing wing on wing on wing past Indian Harbor Yacht Club. SoundWaters will be here all week offering STEM educational sails to students here in Greenwich.
First trawl of the season
The crew trawled today for the first time this season. The water temperature in Long Island Sound is still quite cold (about 37 f) so the haul was small: 1 dormant spider crab, and 4 sand shrimp.
Sail Training
The crew enjoyed a great training sail on the schooner SoundWaters. We are enjoying breaking in the new suit of sails from Nat Wilson. Yesterday we got the schooner sailing at 7kts.
