The 38th Voyage of the Morgan whaler!

http://www.mysticseaport.org/38thvoyage/itinerary/

THE 38TH VOYAGE

In the summer of 2014 the Charles W. Morgan will embark on an unprecedented voyage to historic ports in New England. Over an 80-year career, the 1841 whaleship sailed on 37 voyages to remote corners of the globe. This voyage, her 38th, may perhaps be her most important. Where once the Morgan's cargo was whale oil and baleen, today her cargo is knowledge.

The decision to sail the Morgan is based on Mystic Seaport's commitment to make history come alive for today's audience. The 38th Voyage will call attention to the value of historic ships and the important role America's maritime heritage plays in this country's history. The voyage will also raise awareness about the changing perception about whales and whaling.

On May 17, 2014, the Morgan will leave Mystic Seaport and be towed down the Mystic River en route to New London, Connecticut, where a month-long fitting out period will take place. Due to the shallow depth of the Mystic River the ship cannot be properly ballasted for sailing at her berth at the Museum. New London also offers easy access to Long Island Sound for sail training.

On June 14, the Morgan will leave New London and begin her journey up the coast of New England to Newport, Vineyard Haven, New Bedford, the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, Boston, and then back to New London and Mystic with a stop at the Cape Cod Canal to participate in its centennial celebration. Sailing the 1841 whaling vessel will be a maritime event not seen since the 1920s. Due to her status as a National Historic Landmark, the ship will proceed to each scheduled port on a one-day sail so she can be safely berthed in the next harbor by nightfall. As weather conditions are a determining factor in the decision to head to sea each day, each port transit is scheduled with a three-day window of opportunity with the intention that the ship will sail on the first acceptable day.

Once in port, the ship will be open to the public on select days. Additionally, the Charles W. Morgan will be accompanied by a traveling dockside exhibition that includes historic interpretation, live demonstrations, music, waterfront activities, and more. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we hope you make plans to visit the ship at one of the ports.

Please note: The leg of the voyage on Stellwagen Bank (July 11-13) has a somewhat different operating plan. The Morgan will moor off Provincetown as a base for day sails onto the Marine Sanctuary in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. There will be no dockside exhibition or visitor access to the ship in Provincetown, although there will be extensive online programming during the day sails and the Massachusetts whale watching fleet may choose to follow the ship.

Upon her return to Mystic Seaport in August, the Morgan will resume her role as an exhibit and the flagship of the Museum.

Number 5

5 Life Lessons You Should Learn As Early As Possible

Flickr/Nathan O'Nions

When you're faced with a difficult decision, many times following your gut is the right choice.

I don't necessarily consider making mistakes a bad thing, because I've learned so much more from them than my successes. If you own up to the mistakes you make and do your best to learn from them, they can be helpful, actually. I like to think of them as necessary evils.

That having been said, who doesn't want to make fewer of them? Consider employing these five tips to make fewer mistakes:

1. Follow your gut.

Over the years, I've learned to trust my instincts, because they're almost always right. If something doesn't feel or look right, there's probably a reason. Do due diligence and look into whatever is concerning you. You know more than you think you do. If it walks like a duck and looks like a duck — it's probably a duck.

2. Let time be on your side.

Hasty decision-making has been the cause of most of my mistakes. This is especially true when it comes to negotiations. If the party you are negotiating with wants you to make a quick decision — for whatever reason — let that serve as a warning. Making good decisions takes time. There will always be seemingly "good" reasons for urgency. I don't buy it. Good decision-making requires perspective, and perspective comes with time. Most decisions can wait.

3. Don't waste your time on the wrong people.

Trying to convince businesses to do something they aren't currently doing has been a source of angst my entire career. I've been selling my inventions for a long time. Over the years, I've learned that if I'm selling a variation of an apple, I had better find someone who is buying apples. I've spent too much time showing my ideas to people in different industries. The truth is that most people aren't willing to take a chance on something outside their comfort zone. It's too hard of a sell — even if you have a great idea.

4. Realize that some things aren't meant to be, no matter how much you want them.

I'm less of a fighter than I used to be, and that's a good thing. In the past, when something didn't go my way, I would focus on working harder. I thought that sheer willpower alone was enough. I know now that it's not. I'm more accepting these days. Nine out of 10 times, I'm pleased when I let things go. When I look back, I realize things worked out for the best — perhaps better! If you push too hard, all the time, you'll end up regretting it. Of course, there's a fine line between pushing too hard and giving up too easily. It takes time to navigate.

5. Pick up the phone.

Miscommunication happens all too easily over email! If you're ever in doubt, pick up the phone. Email is a very efficient and convenient form of communication. But because it's so impersonal, your words and intent may be misinterpreted. First, always strive to be as clear as possible, even when you're in a hurry, and remember to read what you've written before you send it. If you sense that a potential conflict may be brewing, pick up the phone and talk it out. It's worth the minor inconvenience. Many problems can be avoided this way. Relationships are built through dynamic conversations. So make the effort to pick up the phone, and even better, meet the people you are corresponding with in person.

A mistake is really only a mistake if you continue to make it. You're missing out on an opportunity to be and do better if you don't analyze yours.
