How to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in this world is what New Horizons is all about. Please check out our website at www.newhorizonsofswfl.org We provide educational opportuinities for at-risk children in Southwest Florida. We are able to provide humanitarian aid to our Caribbean neighbors with our 68-foot cargo schooner, "Star of the Sea." The schooner is also used as a teaching tool for the "Call to Adventure" program that mentors young men at sea.

Final day on Cow Island





It was time to get the schooner ready for the long ride home and we spent most of the day checking all systems, changing oil in the main engine and generator, looking over the rig looking for chafe and securing SID our new deck tree, I'll include a picture of SID coming aboard but you'll have to get the story from Pastor Dave! We attended the afternoon soccer game that was for the championship of the island, which ended in controversy with the visiting team walking off the field and getting into their boat for the sail home.....quite funny. Villeme gave us 6 large spider crabs for dinner and we put a tarp down at dinner time to catch some of the flying crab being broken open with a hammer.
