22 PECONIC BAY POWER SQUADRON presented a lesson on water safety Many of the children tried on their first life preservers after learning of their importance. During snack time Ray Walton regaled them with true life sailing adventures. GLORY Captain Dave took half of the children for an ecology sail on the solar powered Glory while the remainder examined water samples under Bob Jesters microscope. This was the first time a number of the children have actually been on a boat and for some the first experience with a microscope.
