USNA+event

USNA Event

July 2014 - Plebe summer will be in 2nd or 3rd week - P-rades, formations - do fieldtrip to USNA mid July 2011 or 2012 to scope out possibilities. YPs may be out on summer cruise Meal at 6 pm at Dalgren Hall. Speech by Sup or Dant? Tour of labs - oceanography labs, naval architechure lab Simulation of naval ops on destroyer? Get Naval ship or NOAA ship to visit, anchored off Annapolis - people transported out for event Make one day a whole day event at USNA with groups going to different labs or on board different ships for intro to Navy

Ideally, we want to do an evening event there on Monday night-- dinner (crab feast???-- King Hall might be fun), speaker (maybe a welcome from a local politician and/or the Sup or Dant), and maybe a military band. Touring the labs would be fun, but they may not let us do that. The YPs may be out, but it is worth asking.

Sounds great to me...Let's encourage tall ships in the Atlantic to start planning now for NMEA Annapolis!

Here's an idea to revive for 2014 with some enterprising ship(s): The first time the conference was in Maine, I gathered a crew of marine educators to sail HARVEY GAMAGE from Camden to Portland. We did the conference by day and stayed aboard HARVEY GAMAGE the whole time, offered day sails and dockside tours, etc. Needless to say, a good time was had by all.

Although I have to skip this year's conference in Boston, I'm already planning on Anchorage in 2012. I'm hoping to put together a couple of side trips, like one to Dutch Harbor (by air, not by sea.)

We're hoping to have the Tall Ships Challenge here in LA in 2014...tentative dates won't compete with Annapolis. I'll plan to be there myself, but I'm afraid our ships can't make it from California to the Chesapeake in time.

Fair Winds! Nancy
