This isn’t at Williams, per se, but here’s hoping you can still identify where it is, even if you’ve never been there.

Williams-Mystic?

I think I have to start getting up earlier so that I can be the first to answer the questions that I know.

I would know those houses anywhere.
one summer crewing the sabino taught me well.

Yup, Williams-Mystic. The guy in the boat is a Williams student.
Each student chooses a skill that they do two afternoons a week. This is the “small boat handling” skill. Other skills are blacksmithing, sea chanteys, demonstration squad, and celestial navigation. In the boat handling skill, which I also did, you learn to sail small boats (Dyer Dhows, pictured, and JY-14s) in the early fall, and then when it gets too cold, you learn about power boating and take a certification exam.

Yes, Williams Mystic Yacht. You take provisions and shove off for 3 months. If you make it back, you’ve passed.

Guy- It is amazing what sparks those memories in life. Thanks for sharing that one with us. Take the time to pause and really feel it again. It is always worth it.

Indeed, I am enjoying Exeter. Thanks for the warm wishes.
