Currently we are completing our Explorer Simulation. To date we have had two explorers die; we currently have three with Scurvy and one with Dysenterty. Our three crews, two sailing for Portugal, and one for Spain have encountered some hardships, including being blown severely off course, and having their supplies go bad. They have been sailing for several weeks, and are keeping a log of their progress.
Additionally we have watched some fun videos, they are kind of corny, but they are fun. Parents may especially enjoy the Christopher Columbus one as it will bring you back to the days when we could only watch cartoons on Saturday morning. Please see the links below.
