First Day of All Access Boston Harbor

Hey everyone! It's Thi again coming back from an awesome day at the All Access Boston Harbor program.
Today, I went out with David Coffin, BJ, and Conor. We started out this morning with the kids coloring in the picture of the Smooth Hammerhead. Then, we all went inside the tent to listen to David talk about George's Island, the story of the Lady in Black, and what the groups could do there on this Harbor Island. Of course, he ended the talk with a bang, using the infamous joke of the Bay Gull. After the hectic day of manning the cash register, I got off the boat, ate lunch, and entered the Dark Tunnel. I stayed in the Dark Tunnel for the majority of the time, but not much later, ran into numerous kids, screaming, running around in the tunnel. I had to help many kids from the Braintree After School Enrichment (B.A.S.E.) go through the tunnel, doing my good deed of the day. :)
About halfway through the day, David Coffin and I walked around with three guys from Umass Upper Bound. We held hands and went through many dark rooms and tunnels together and had a LOT of fun. I can't wait for tomorrow!

SUMMER 2010!!!

Hey everyone!
I'm Thi Tran, and I'm really excited to be back again!
I am 16 years old and an upcoming junior at Boston Latin School. I enjoy reading, drawing, and having fun all the time! This is going to be my second year here at Save the Harbor/Save the Bay and I will be the Artist in Residence.
Training week just finished yesterday and I met all the new staff! This summer will be great and full of kids expanding their knowledge of the harbor! :) After a long 10 months of school, I re-learned how to fish, tie a knot on a fish hook, went to most of the sights, got ready for the exciting time going to be spent next to our harbor, and just had fun bonding with the new and returning youth staff!
I'm glad that I'm back and can't wait for this summer!
