Aboard the AJ Meerwald







Today we sailed on the AJ Meerwald with the Salem County Christian Homeschoolers Association. What a great trip! It was a beautiful, sunny day, but the wind was cold once we got out on the river. The kids were able to help hoist the gaff-rigged mainsail while we motored up the river. Then the kids divided into groups as we sailed to learn about oystering in the Delaware Bay, plankton, the history of the Meerwald, watersheds, and water quality. The girls had a great time and really enjoyed sailing on the Cohansey. Two field trip days in a row...the girls are loving homeschooling! Back to the books tomorrow!
