8th Grade Field Trip On The Odyssey?
Really? Who lost a bet?
My 8th Grader went to Canobie Lake. That's fun.
Did any Newton 8th Graders need to sappily propose marriage this afternoon whilst on the water?
If you are going to take 8th graders on the water, put them on the Hingham catamarans. At least you get to zip by on the top deck at 25 MPH.
The boat crash
More than made up for any deficit.
C'mon - they are out of school on a hot day. Still better than nothing!
Probably going to the Harbor Islands
Their website says "Odyssey offers cruises departing from Rowes Wharf along Boston Harbor from Castle Island to George's Island, east to the Boston Light on Little Brewster Island and back to the Charlestown Naval Yard before returning to the wharf. It also offers group events for school field trips."
Too big to dock at islands
I'm pretty sure they just sail BY the islands, as opposed to stopping there.
Harbor cruise, I’m sure the
Harbor cruise, I’m sure the incident got the kids off their phones for a few! Maybe some good insta or Snapchat photos/ video.
Hey Adam, a technicality, but
Hey Adam, a technicality, but the article says the sailboats were moored, not at a dock.
News report I saw on TV
News report I saw on TV showed the Odyssey drifting into a bunch of moored sailboats. Oops.
Thanks to you both
For pointing out your nautical knowledge related to what is a moot point. Now, back to your polo ponies and nanny/mistresses.
Nah, words still have meaning
Even in this day and age, so I've corrected the headline, because even a confirmed landlubber like me knows there's a difference between a boat tied to a dock and a boat just sitting in the water with an anchor or whatever it is that keeps them from moving these days.
It's a mooring, Mr. Brooklyn
Just kidding about the sobriquet. :)
A mooring is like a permanent anchor. Heavy weight on the sea floor with a line attached to a buoy at the top. boats can just pull up and hook up w/o dropping anchor.
