2186.0. "Slocum Centenial" by OFOSS1::GINGER (Ron Ginger) Thu Jan 12 1995 20:39

    Heard an interesting story last night at my TSCA meeting. A fellow,
    whose name I didnt get, is planning a re-creation of Joshua Slocums
    sail. He is to sail a replica SPRAY, leaving Boston April 24, 1995- the
    centenial of Slocoums departure.
    
    He is an educator, and all this trip will be satellite broadcast to
    schools around the word. There will somehow be provision for the kids
    to ask questions and 'be involved' in the three year project. I recall
    hearing something like this with JASON and a couple expeditions.
    
    I invited him to return to our next meeting in February. I will try to
    get more info.
    
    Sounds like an interesting project, if he pulls it off.
