Captain 2be Shirely here. That is my handle today. Today is our last day of sailng as we go from Rock Hall to Herrington Harbor North. We had nice ice cream here and a wonderful shower. We looked at stars and planets with the my handy dandy sky scout. It has a red light so does the cpatians boat. I like the blue lights but the red apparently work so that you can see at night and not effect your night eye vision. I need Alexander night vision goggles. Can I borrow them please???????????

I think the trip was excellent. The benefits are appreciating that everyone has natural talents and it is very evident sailing and promotes team work. We sailed with the sails in many configurations. The weather was variable so we learned to keep a course while at the helm. I learned much about the charts and the navigational instruments which was tested at night seeking out a safe harbor to anchor. The planning aspect and execution of the plan for watches at the helm was beneficial psychologically and literally. We contacted marinas for reservations. Giving life to all the lines and equipment was huge. Watching the Captain make choices, change course depending on weather and intuitively anticipate everything was a huge lesson in itself. The fact that he indulged us/me in the inquiry as to how and why he made is decisions was enormously beneficial- even though the Captain probably thought some truth should be self evident. ON the other hand E= mc2 only became self evident after it became evident. I got the E= part and now I am working on my mc2.

Mostly, however, Captain David taught us throughout, tolerated our repetitive questions (Mine mostly- didn't I answer that last night for you Shirley) and folded in his wonderful sense of humor and true candor all the time. I have not laughed this hard in years. The three of us got along exceedingly well and honored each others space with ease. They even liked my perfume Chanel Number 5 baby!!
