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.
