This magnificent sailing ship picked us up at the 79th Street Boat Basin. It was a really beautiful area. There were a lot more adults than Scouts. (There were 31 adults and about 11 Scouts.) Awilda Vasquez and Delores Jackson showed their real Scouting Spirit by attending this trip, after their experience during the Canoe Trip. The Crew, and the Captain, introduced themselves to us. The Scouts were separated into two groups and the adults into another two groups. Salty, the leader of my group, in my opinion, was the best teacher. We learned many things about the Hudson River, the history of the Clearwater, water life, and environmental concerns. One thing that I personally liked was that a little before our return, we has a moment of silence. It was amazing, especially when you can hear nature and see things that you have never looked at closely before. I also liked fishing with a net. Many people were sad when the trip ended. You could tell that the crew had a lot of fun doing what they did and they were looking for volunteers to help crew the ship. This trip was amazing. -- James N., Troop Scribe.
