Welcome to summer 2017!!!

And they are off!  After a quiet, but fun night on campus, the students were picked up by LCF staff after breakfast and headed down to meet the rest of the Lady Maryland crew and get their adventure started.  After some orientation and safety discussions the student crew helped the professional crew sail the boat off the dock - WOW!!! Getting to sail off the dock is the traditional way and not somthing that happens very often.  The students and crew will update this blog as they have time, but don't be surprised if it takes a day or two as they'll be so busy having fun, being safe and learning TONS!

Before getting underway there is a lot of orientation to be done.  Here students are learning how to properly use the head (marine toilet).
