Mystic Whaler

At 17 have you ever sailed a boat? Because I never thought I would be able to either. The Urban Assembly New York Harbor School has provided me with the unique experience of helping downrig Mystic Whaler, an experience I never thought of having. It was a pleasure working with captain John and the Mystic Whaler Crew over the weekend. Watching how having the same common interest, sailing, bring people together and commune with one another is an experience many people do not get to have. It is remarkable to witness how Captain John leads his crew along with his wife. It shows that he is experienced in doing what he does. Communication, the skill, or the key needed for a captain to correctly operate a vessel safely and effectively. The skills he displayed is what I hope to carry over in the future.
