Sept. 16, 2008 - Little River Band Students

Sailing under short rig in blustery conditions.
Keeping good look out!
Stephanie returns to the Schoolship!

On Tuesday September 16, 2008, students from the Little River Band in Manistee sailed aboard the Schoolship. It was a blustery afternoon with the winds about 20 knots, and gusts to 30. We sailed with just the staysail and reefed main, which was just right. We occasionally hit 9.5 mph through the water with this short rig.



Instrumental in making this trip happen was Stephanie Ogren, a fishery biologist with the Little River Band and former ISEA Student Intern (about 12 years ago!). It was great to sail with you again Stephanie.



Funding for this trip was provided by the Michigan Sea Grant Program - COSEE.
