Forever Sea

Sail Nauticus Academy’s 5th-8th grade students have been working hard on their shared miniboat project. They named their vessel “Forever Sea” because, “when we had looked on the EP website, we noticed that some boats had been out at sea many years. So we thought our boat can be forever on the sea.

On May 10th, 2025, Sail Nauticus Academy students and their parents were invited to celebrate M/B Forever Sea and christen her for a safe journey!

Data from Onboard Sensor Pack

The location reports from the main GPS will show on the map at the top of this page here (which updates hourly with new positions if available). Here below is where you can see the data reporting from the second GPS which is connected to a custom sensor package. In addition to reporting location with a secondary GPS tracker, this system is also collecting air temperature, water temperature, and orientation of the boat. Please note that the map below will only the last 7 days of data and may include invalid points and data. If you are interested in looking at the data in a different format from the whole voyage, contact us.
