at sea in a sea of change

Kids deserve the opportunity to do life building/altering things. For instance, going to sea to learn history as well as other things about character and relationship.

This article: https://www.postandcourier.com/news/aboard-the-schooner-harvey-gamage-students-learn-about-african-american-history/article_7378800e-6fc8-11ec-83bb-f7debfe070ec.html describes going to sea with students from the Met School in Providence, RI and students from New Hampshire's Proctor Academy. The article notes despite the diverse backgrounds of the students, on board all are the same: 

Put a bunch of people on a big sailboat and watch what happens.

Differences evaporate like fog on a warm morning. On the water, it matters little where you come from, how you grew up, how much money you have or who your people are.

The moment you step onto the boat, you are a sailor, nothing more, nothing less. You have a job to do, and you have to coordinate your work with all the others. You are a member of the crew, and the crew has a narrow focus: to stay safe and sail well.

For these students going for a sail brings lessons for a lifetime. And this kind of lesson is not only important to kids. They will be our important citizens of tomorrow.

Make, fix and create...
