The voyages of a Classic Wooden Sailing Yacht can be transformational as well as educational. Since August 2024, STEADFAST has been undergoing extensive repair and refit. In boating terminology we are hauled out “on the hard” in Cambridge, Maryland, USA. What a great place to be aground! The archives contain extensive details on what we have undertaken.
My weekly posts intermingle sailing tales with the challenges, lessons, joys and intricacies of restoring 90-year-old STEADFAST.….please weigh in as we manage and learn from this unexpected joust. Thank you! ~J

CORRECTION: Wally Moran, Boating Rights Crusader. OpEd by Peter Swanson
On December 18, 2024 Cruisers Net posted a link to Peter Swanson’s Loose Cannon blog regarding Wally Moran entitled “Judged a Grifter in Canada, He Fights for Anchoring Rights in Florida (Video)“.
Cruisers Net included the following incorrect statement in this post:
“Until Peter Swanson’s report below, we were unaware of criminal charges against Wally.”
Cruisers Net has been informed that Wally has not been charged with a crime and has never been.
We sincerely apologize to Wally for this incorrect statement, which resulted from a misreading of the article.
Wally’s comprehensive rebuttal to Swanson’s blog post contains evidence contradicting Swanson’s claims here.

FOR EARTH DAY! – Explore Teek and Tom’s educational, climate-weather adventures!
Engage your elementary aged students this Earth Day with “Teek and Tom!”
Watch the Short Trailer
Teek and Tom Explore Planet Earth is a five-part animated educational series with ten accompanying lesson plans that takes young viewers on an exploration of the ocean’s influence on Earth’s weather and climate and demonstrates how NOAA uses high tech tools to gather information about our changing planet.
If your students love NOAA Ocean Today videos, they’re going to really love this new five-part animated series all about the ocean-weather-climate connection!
Watch all 5 action and science packed videos!
Check out all 10 amazing lesson plans!
Download the Educators Guide!
Note: All five videos(ranging in length from 9 to 16 minutes) and ten lesson plans (available individually and as part of a comprehensive Educator’s Guide) can be freely downloaded from our website for offline use.
I would recommend these videos to other educators teaching earth science to students. As an educator in a state that has adopted and implemented the Next Generation Science Standards, these videos either directly or implicitly address multiple standards, and they introduce several NOAA tools and data that can be explored further. There are no free resources that I currently know of that address these specific concepts so thoroughly.
Laura Cummings, M. Ed.: Sunset Beach Elementary School, Haleiwa, HI.
This (series) will have a big impact on so many kids for a long time! Through the use of the video and the lesson plan, I can see students developing a deep understanding about the difference between weather and climate. I will recommend these videos to other teachers and share them with our district science leadership.
Kelley Hodges: Patronis Elementary School
FLDOE School of ExcellenceWho is the target audience for Teek and Tom?
NOAA created the Teek and Tom collection for an upper elementary to middle school audience, including students, educators, and families. We designed the five videos and ten accompanying lesson plans to align with the Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core Math and Common Core English and Language Arts Standards at the fourth-through-sixth-grade level. The accessibility of these resources ensures that students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds can benefit equally, bridging gaps in educational resources.
NOAA @ NSTA!: Explore the Ocean, Weather, Climate Connection with Teek and Tom
Teek and Tom Explore Planet Earth investigates the relationship between the ocean, weather and climate on local to global scales. You’ll sample some of the ten hands-on activities for upper ES and MS students to reinforce Earth science concepts related to oceanography, meteorology and climate.
Friday, March 28 – 9:20 AM – 10:20 AM / Pennsylvania Convention Center – Ballroom III
For our more than 70,000 subscribers, we say Thank You for supporting NOAA Ocean Today. We hope that the content we are creating bring value to your work and your community!
