Sailing Away

News for Tomorrow's Field Trip: 
May 23 (8:30-3:00)  Sailing on Bay and nautical skills workshop. We will depart by 8:40, and our program ends at 2:30.  We will return immediately after, and hope to be on campus no later than 3:00.
Clothing:  The students need to wear layers, with an outer jacket!!!  A warm hat is a good idea.  It will be breezy/windy and cold on the bay.  Colder than you might expect, so come prepared.
Also bring: Lunch, snack, water bottle & pack to keep everything in.
Apply Sunscreen
Eat a good breakfast - full stomachs have more success on the boat
