Day Four, at Sea of the Coast of Haiti

Furling Sail

Enzo Moscarella, 13, is dwarfed by the wheel of the HMS Rose, but is having a great time sailing.

Student Pranks

Prank of the day: Crew member Adam Huth calls the student trainees to task for the prank of putting shaving cream in Joel Dantes-Castillo's shoe overnight. Prankster Robert Gaitan later fessed up to the crime, and will have to clean everyone else's shoes. Miami Dade middle school students are helping sail the 1,000 miles back to Miami.
