Wednesday updates
Many thanks to our drivers/chaperones for the O'Neill Sea Odyssey today -- Jennifer Meduri, Vince Hurley, Dennis Bol, Lisa Pepperdine, Breese White, Dominic Boulter, Steve Burrell and Tami Manchester. We had a great time on our field trip, even though they could not take the boat out in the ocean. Because of the big swells and the large amount of sand deposit, there wasn't enough dredged for them to take the boat out. We had some excellent instructors and learned about navigation, ecology, watersheds and ocean life. The morning was clear and sunny, too!
