It's a keeper!  31" striper caught aboard the Erica Lee II during our 2008 summer  program.	The Tall Ships visited Salisbury, and the Erica Lee II was there to greet them with a boatload of curious youngsters.	An amazing flounder derby aboard the Erica Lee II - a total of 75 flounders were brought aboard in one and one-half hours!

We met this curious seal out at the Isles of Shoals while paddling kayaks with a great group of
teens during one of our "teen only" weeks.

COASTAL DISCOVERIES, owned and operated by the Yeomans family of Newbury since 1988, is a one-week, maritime adventure and marine education program for kids aged nine and older. Each summer, nearly 400 kids participate; while most are from the greater Newburyport area, we have had children from: Russia, France, Scotland and Sudan, as well as Arizona, Louisiana, California, Pennsylvania, New York and Wyoming.

Held aboard our floating classroom, the Erica Lee II, we spend the week discovering the unique and fascinating history and ecology of our coastal waters, from the Merrimack River estuary to the Isles of Shoals, Jeffreys Ledge and Rockport’s Thacher Island.
