FALL CRUISE 2007
|
Our fist Fall Cruise was a success. We had sheltered anchorage for the night at Bushy Point Island. This was right off Jupiter Point with land and vehicle access for logistical support. If you were not there, then YOU should have been there! We had experienced the best weather that Fall New England could offer. We had the largest turnout of 12 adults with eight boats in command. We had good food, inspiring Chapel message to Love you self so that You Can Love Others, and an adventurous fast pace sail on a 36 foot sloop. No one could not but enjoy themselves. The feedback from all that attended both youth and adult was nothing but a most positive and entirely enjoyable event. Thank you all very much you, adults who did attend for providing your share to enable youth to experience a lifetime of memories!

John Gardner Small Craft Workshop
|
The Ship participated in the 37th Annual John Gardner
Small Craft Workshop Sat/Sun June 3 and 4 2006 at Mystic Seaport, CT.
Enjoyed a Sea Scout
adventure at Mystic Seaport as we learn how to sail on the Mystic River, and live aboard the tall ship Joseph Conrad!
We demonstrated small craft to Sea Port Visitors and stayed overnight on the Conrad.
We shared the experience of using traditionally based small boats with other sea scouts from Boston and New York City.
Participants brought peapods, white-halls, sharpie skiffs, wood and canvas canoes, kayaks, performance rowing craft, dories, dinghies, tenders and other boats of traditional design and/or construction to share with other enthusiasts.

June Pirates GAM at Capt Cove 6/6-8/2008
|
We made a milestone event. We had Fun! Games! Food! Camaraderie! at the Captain’s Cove Seaport, Black Rock Harbor, Bridgeport, CT.
But this was not all, it was the fact that our Ship arrived by boat - a 40' Trawler.
On board and by car the following members were in attendance -- Bosn Amanda Ballassi, Crew Members Jezzika Graham, Shayna Lavine, and Peter Forney, STBD#2 ASSISTANT Crew Leader Courtland Payne. The adults were Skipper Marshall Parsons, Mate - Social Officer Cathy Greer and Vivian DeSiervo, Mate Training Dan Forney and Captain of the Boat Alan Donn.
Agenda: The program included
• Treasure Hunt (bring a compass)
• Boat Decorating Contest (including pirate costumes)
• Piratical Day Time Activities
• Evening activities & dock party including making your own sundae.
Sunday program included a religious service at 0800 .
The New Haven Power Squadron conducted Vessel Safety Checks (VSC) for all Sea Scout boats in need.
Summer weather really took hold on the weekend, but on the return trip the heat wave broke with a small white squall. The weather got rough at the last turn. All made a safe landing at the dock with stories to tell.
I am really proud of the crew that went. Great attitudes and team work.
AND very thankful for Capt Donn, who took the time and patience for this trip and lead us through this milestone event.

Pine Island Clean up 2008
|
The Ship Dragon in support of the annual Earth Day cleanup scheduled for 10 AM Sunday, May 4.
We rowed over as a group to Pine Island (about a half mile out) and help spruce up the island. Our Ship' crew supported the local John Gardner Chapter of the Traditional Small Craft Association.
They are interested in working with our crew members.
They have a Community Boathouse at Avery Point. We visited their boathouse and learned about boatbuilding techniques, went for a row, and had a cookout.
You can see pictures on their website of a past cleanup (plus our other activities).
http://www.tsca.net/johngardner/pine_island2001.htm
We were also a part of ShopRite’s Earth Day mission, which is to promote civic engagement, broaden the meaning of “environment,” and mobilize communities. ShopRite’s yearly Earth Day program has reached out to towns as far north as Central Village, as far west as Lyme and as far east as the Pawcatuck; serving over 450 organizations and over 9,000 participants.
We supported The Scouting Outdoor Code
As an American, I will do my best to -
Be clean in my outdoor manners
Be careful with fire
Be considerate in the outdoors, and
Be conservation minded.

I know our combined efforts will make Southeastern Connecticut's environment just a little nicer this spring

Sailing our new Inte Vasa II
|
Big thanks goes out to Gil Anderson for donating his 27' Catalina sailboat to the Sea Scout Ship Dragon. Cruising on this boat will provide the youth with great memories that will last a life time. We did have trouble at first starting the engine, but after another look it started up miracuosly. Sounds like a charm. More pictures to follow..
