The long drive


Good evening from St. Andrews,
After the 12 hour voyage from Montreal to the Huntsman Marine Science Center, we were all itching to get out and stretch our legs. The drive was without mishap and we seemed to find our direction magnetically, as Mr. Grier’s relentless positivity ensured us that all roads lead to the sea.  We pushed through the heavy rain near Skowhegan, Maine, and watched in the mirrors as the rain clouds chased us to the coast. They have finally caught up with us as I can hear the rain drops penetrating the canopy of trees outside my window. All of the lakes we passed were abnormally high and the muddied rivers were brimming and spitting like a chocolate shake.
Aside from the rain outside, it is finally quiet as all have gone off to sleep in preparation for the big day tomorrow brings. We will be out on a boat by nine to survey the coast and to embark on our first Journey of our stay. From here on in the boys will be in charge of updating the Blog on a daily basis. Stay tuned to hear their reflections on the adventures of the days to come.
Best,
Mr. Grier and Mr.Deegan
