The Harbor of Refuge was the perfect spot to launch the newest puddle duck racer built by seventh grade students at Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic School and sponsored by Russell Cain Real Estate. The building project, overseen by Texas Sea Grant Extension Agent Rhonda Cummins and OLG School Board President Morris Sadleir, was done after school twice a week for 7 weeks and was completed for the blessing on May 22nd. Nine students were involved in the project and all were given sailboat rides on May 31st by Cummins. Students waiting to sail were involved in kayaking led by school principal, Theresa Dent. Even the curious dolphins got into the fun and swam among the boats.
