America!

After a week and a half at sea, we've finally dropped anchor in, as Richard Henry Dana called it, our "fair native land." We saw fair breezes and foul, squalls and calms. Our student crew has grown more s a crew on this passage, I believe, than in the rest of their time on board, and there's still plenty to see and learn!

We'll be blogging more over the next few days: photos, an update from Captain Flansburg, student writing, and updates on our service project on Cumberland Island. All are well aboard...
