Onward to the Azores!

(From Ship's Librarian, Kimmy Szeto) 

May 9, 2012

First of all, we aboard would like to extend a big thanks to the parents and supporters for sending us off in the rain yesterday morning! 

We found calm seas as we sailed into the foggy Long Island Sound. As I wrote this yesterday evening at 2130 (9:30 p.m. for you landlubbers), cadets were coming to the gymnasium and the library for recreation and relaxation. Cadets in the library enjoyed the magazines, while some hovered over the guide book for the Azores. One cadet even jumped rope for half an hour outside the library (where one gymnasium is located), and another group just came with a laptop to stretch out to a yoga instructional video.

We anchored at Montauk last night…onward in the morning!
