What happened to the tracking?
Earlier this week, ANITA stopped sending out data from her air and surface water temperature sensors. We checked in with Cassie, she was able to tell us that for some reason, our sensor box is no longer functioning. Did we take on some water? Was there a huge wave that knocked something loose? We honestly will not know until ANITA finds safety on a shore somewhere.
We are very thankful to Daryn for installing that brand new GPS tracker, so that we may still follow ANITA's travels.
Follow along with us as ANITA's third voyage continues

2026 Recycling Regatta Friday June 5
Our 5th grade Champions of the Sea program will be traveling to Mason Road School on Friday June 5th. We will be traveling on the dismissal buses at the end of the day. Pick up will be at the Mason Road parking lot at 3:45 PM.
The Recycle Regatta is a free, fun, hands-on competition for K-12 students to participate in from anywhere! Participants build a model sailboat from recycled and repurposed materials and race to victory while discovering engineering, mathematics, sailing, buoyancy, and stewardship.
We will set our sailboats out from the Dudley beach. Each of our sailboats will all contain a finder's note for the individual that finds out boat. We can't wait to hear from local community members and share the experiences next week with you!
Mrs. Winans, thank YOU for sealing our cargo & protecting it from the salt water
