The New Voyage- A very "Crabby" Beginning

Welcome family, fans, and friends of the Belle!!!
This Blog will chroncile the adventures of our Pirate crew: Kimipage(rockstar), Hookem Tim, Laughin'Bones Liam, Mustang Morgan, Jackie Kahan, Jonathan SWIFT, Samurai John, "Bullseye" John, Anna Valkyrie (Viking Princess), Maura the Maestro, Off-road Aaron, Marty le Saber, Half-hearted Jose (RA), Hurricane April (LCF), Karen the Quick-(LCF Ninja), Pistol Pete (LCF), Shellback Joe (Capt. of the Belle), Buffalo John (LCF), and the blood-red Kool-aid-thirsty Keelhauling Kristina (LCF).


June 30th [In the words of the pirate students.]
"We were on the boat from 11AM-3PM. We were separated into starboard and port groups. We took shifts cooking and cleaning. We learned about navigation and how to tie knots and maintain the boat. Tomorrow we are crabbing for crabs. Stay Tuned for more on our adventures."

**A message from Half-hearted Jose the RA. First, they named me after my heart surgery. Moms and Dads, I am loving how awesome your kids are! My blog notes add an extra detail or two so you can hear about you barbary pirates.

Samurai John's negative of the day: Forgetting his rain gear :-(
Hookem Tim did not like "cleaning the dishes"
Anna Valkarie liked "learing about navigation [how to chart a course]"
Maesto Maura feels she "needs to work on her frisbee!?!?" :-)

Half-hearted Jose says: We saw a real rainbow. The kids cook great beef and vegetarian taco dinner options. Your kids are getting to appreciate the definition of a "clean pot" from a clean pot that doesnt turn papertowels orange when drying them!!! yuck! And we survived a torrential down pour on the first night... No students got scared! (You must be proud. I am).

Sorry, the names and intros made this an extra long first post. Check in daily, and we'll do our best, if we're not too busy pirating!
