Simmering in the Brazilian heat HARRY BRUCE Sun. Dec 13, 2009
IT’S NOW three months since Mark Schrader, intrepid captain of the 64-foot, steel-hulled sloop Ocean Watch, sailed south from Halifax with Dave, David and Herb, and I’m happy to report that they have crossed the equator and, after weeks of stewing in horrendous heat, rounded the easternmost tip of Brazil. With the wind pretty much abeam, they’ll now head a long way south, and westward to the Pacific.

The crew of Ocean Watch is on a journey few have imagined and fewer still have actually experienced. The Around the Americas project is committed to raising awareness about the fragile nature of our oceans throughout North and South America. Daily logs from Herb McCormick and his fellow crew members allow readers to feel as though they are on the boat, sharing in the adventure. Stories in the media are another important way to get the word out about the expedition. Periodically we will let you know what the press is saying about Ocean Watch. Look here for the latest updates.

S’COOL Sets Sail To Promote Ocean Health
06.17.09
A NASA program that has inspired children to study clouds on every continent but Antarctica has set sail to conquer new frontiers – the oceans.
The Students Cloud Observations On-Line(S’COOL) program at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., is teaming up with the Pacific Science Center and Sailors for the Sea for a 25,000-mile (40,234 km) sailing journey to raise awareness about the health of the world’s oceans.The boat departed from Seattle early last week and the crew intends to sail all the way around North and South America. They head north first, and will take advantage of the drastic decline in summer Arctic sea ice to make around northern Canada –the famed Northwest Passage, a route that’s rarely been followed but is becoming easier because of the dramatic loss of summer sea ice in the Arctic.
Goat Island — Sprague Theobals’s cell phone buzzes nearly constantly, but he pushes it aside as he takes a break from his work and rests in a massive black leather chair on the bridge of his 57-foot Nordhavn yacht Bagan, docked on Goat Island.
