Bruce, Will, Karrisha, Carly, and I joined over 400 campers and counselors from Camp Harbor View aboard Boston Harbor Cruises' Frederick L. Nolan for a chartered tour of Boston Harbor. Bruce took over master of ceremony responsibilities, giving a great background on the history and science of the islands. Next, Will took over the mic to spit a brand new harbor rap that got all the kids going. It's something else to hear a couple hundred kids scream "harbor" after you say "save."

The kids took over the mic. |
The kids eventually took control of the mic to have a Camp Harbor View rap battle. But in addition to all the fun, everyone learned a good deal about Deer Island and its importance to keeping the harbor clean; and some history, hearing the story of the 1,000 boat crashes and all those who sunk to their death near Graves Lighthouse.

Not just one, but two lighthouses! |
All in all it was a great day to be on the water, and show a lot of kids some sights they may otherwise never have seen. Can't wait to do it again!
See everyone out there!
