CONFERENCES
It is quiet at the Florida Sea Base. But that will change with a vengeance on Wednesday as 160 kids and adults from Appleseed Expeditions descend upon our facility for four days.
PROGRAM
Spring is done. Summer staff training starts at 0730 on 19 May.
ESCAPE
We are making good progress on the monumental task of installing a new engine and transmission in S/V Escape. Sunday, Steven Raymond and I removed approximately 20 gallons of oil/antifreeze/water/sludge that has accumulated in a confined space under the engine over the past 35 years. Steven Raymond and Captain Mike Lucivero spent the rest of the day cleaning the bilge. STINKY!!! The new Yanmar engine and transmission should be in the boat Tuesday and running by Friday if the weather cooperates.
