1-3 May SEA SCOUT Jamboree at USCG Base Portsmouth

The 20-30kt driving rain on 1 May looked to really dampen attendance and activities for the 2015 Jamboree, however, 2-3 May proven to be blue-bird clear days with a spirited northerly to make the sailing adventure fun.  We got underway at 0500 from our slip at the Navy Base to ensure a 0730 arrival at the USCG base for the morning Sea Scout activities.  We took-on 4 full 10-scout crews over the days for hands-charting, position locating, and sailing around the many aids-to-navigation and boats-underway coordination in the Elizabeth River/Norfolk basin area.  What a great day for sailing with many of our under-development today future leaders and sailors of tomorrow!
