I+Sum(C+W)=R

The project began in 2018 with the 5th Graders at the Junior High School in Rye, New Hampshire.

The launch was celebrated by the now grown-up 6th Graders and the crew of The SSV Corwith Cramer on October 25, 2020.

462 days later, the project goal is fulfilled in Smola (a small island) in Norway – by a sixth-grader and his class.

This project, a kind of "message in a bottle", consists of a six-foot hand-made sailboat that traveled over 7,000 miles to its surprise destination.  

Information about this educational and inspiring project can be found at Rye Riptides | Rye Junior High School.  It’s a fascinating story worth the time of exploration.
