Things like what\u2019s she\u2019s capable of doing and what\u2019s really important and what she wants to do with her life.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Spending nine months and 3,000 miles sailing solo from Maine to Eckerd College gives you a lot of time to think about things like that.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sally, who set sail Sept. 29, 2014, from Portland, Maine, is now comfortably ensconced on dry land, settling in at Gamma Residence Complex with her cockapoo Elli and reading Plato. She is getting acclimated as a first-year student, Class of 2019, one of about 500 first-year students enrolled in Autumn term.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Her 29-ft. boat Athena, meanwhile, \u00a0is in dry storage at Salt Creek Marina just south of downtown St. Petersburg, awaiting the next adventure.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And there will be more adventures, Sally says. That\u2019s one of the big things she figured out on her long journey. She\u2019s a sailor, and that\u2019s not going to change.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there were a few challenges along the way. There was the time when the rope got snarled in the propeller and she had to dive into chilly waters to untangle it. \u00a0Or the month she was grounded awaiting parts for the boat (though she was in the Bahamas so it could have been worse). There were the occasional bouts of the lonelys prompting her to head to shore for some human contact.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But the worst thing that happened was when Elli got away from her while on land and was hit by a truck, crushing her right hind leg. The leg had to be amputated and Elli spent a long stretch back in Maine recuperating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSailing without Elli was hard,\u2019\u2019 Sally recalls. She also had to deal with feelings of guilt, blaming herself for letting her run free instead of tethered to a leash. But Elli seems to have recovered nicely, walking briskly on three legs. And she\u2019s always on a leash.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Being alone took some getting used to, she says. \u201cAt first I didn\u2019t like it,\u2019\u2019 Sally recalls. \u201cI would go ashore just to find someone to talk to.\u201d But after a while, she says, \u201cI developed an appetite for it&#8230;It was really nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">She never had any moments when she felt uncomfortable or scared. In fact, she learned how friendly and supportive the sailing world really is. \u201cI met so many amazing people,\u201d she says. She stopped at several places along the way, including Charleston, Ft. Lauderdale and the Bahamas. Her dad joined her on the trip from Ft. Lauderdale to the Bahamas, where she met up with old family friends. She spent Christmas back home in Maine. She also blogged about her trip for her hometown paper, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressherald.com\/mainer-sally-gardiner-smith-sailing-college\/\"><em>Portland Press Herald<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sailing is hardly new to Sally. She grew up on a sailboat. She was almost born at sea when her parents were sailing near the Chesapeake Bay and was back on the boat with them when she was six months old.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But this gap-year trip was like no other. \u201cI learned what I\u2019m capable of and how much I can do when I really have to do it,\u201d Sally says, such as rewiring the running lights on the boat.<\/p>\n<p>She also figured out what she values most: \u201dWorking should help you have the means to live your life how you want to live it, rather than work being the most important thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now she\u2019s on another journey at Eckerd. She arrived in St. Petersburg July 21, spent a few days prepping the boat for storage and then a couple of weeks back home before returning in time for the Aug. 7 start of Autumn term.<\/p>\n<p>Like her fellow first-year students, Sally is learning her way around campus, meeting with her mentor, Political Science Professor Tony Brunello, and taking his course on Politics and Imagination. She\u2019s also getting readjusted to being around so many people again. The cafeteria seems crowded, and there are still hundreds of sophomores, juniors and seniors yet to arrive for the start of the Fall Semester on Aug. 31.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI\u2019m excited for everyone else to get here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span class=\"med_text\">\u201cI loved how hands on the laboratory work was! Not many schools can say they go out in boats to collect organisms and data to bring back to school for further research! Or just go out on a boat, use a trawl to catch organisms, identify them, and throw them back into the Bay!\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>\u2013 Cassandra Berntsen \u201815<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Title, Employer<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;64&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;64&#8243;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;35px&#8221;][vc_column_text] She doesn\u2019t know her major&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":1401,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[159,107],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-527","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-students","8":"category-waterfront"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) -
