5th Entry, 1507 Hours: Our Connecticut River Academy crew perks up as they suddenly hear children cheering the Half Moon's passage. Scanning the shoreline, we find our boosters — afterschool students at the Brearley School! You can mouse over (or click on) the image above to catch a distant glimpse of the students cheering us on. The students wave, and Captain Reynolds responds with a blast from the ship's horn, raising an even greater cheer on shore.
