I had a pretty incredible experience the other day. I was invited to try out the insanely lifelike simulators at Northeast Maritime Institute in Fairhaven. Their Applied Science in Nautical Science Associate's Degree program has recently been accredited...and they are close to becoming a full fledged 4 year college. According to the school's president, they are now the first and only Nautical Science degree to be run in the United States by a private college. If you know a high school student who dreams of living a life on the sea...their dream school might be right here in Fairhaven! Share this video with them...it could change their life!

Check out their Open House this Saturday from 2p-4p at 32 Washington Street in Fairhaven.  It'll be your chance to test out your ship handling skills!
