Ship's crew member boosts morale
By DAVID COLLINS | The Day
NEW LONDON, Conn. - Morale aboard the Connecticut schooner Amistad was flagging in late February by the time the ship arrived at the islands of Cape Verde, new ports of call on the 14,000-mile Atlantic Freedom Tour over historic slave routes.
There were some typical long-voyage crew tensions, exacerbated by the cultural stew on Amistad, professional sailors, American college students and some people the ship had picked up along the way, including a few new hands from Sierra Leone.
To make things worse, they were running out of money, and no one in the crew had been paid for a while.
And then, as some aboard now tell it, things changed with a single stroke, the addition of one new crew member, bounding into everyone's hearts.

To make things worse, they were running out of money, and no one in the crew had been paid for a while.
And then, as some aboard now tell it, things changed with a single stroke, the addition of one new crew member, bounding into everyone's hearts.
"We brought this tiny little ball of salsa aboard, and she has brought us all together," said Capt. Eliza Garfield. "And eaten all our shoes."
She is Fogo, a Cape Verdean stray dog, a sickly, flea-bitten puppy when Garfield and Ben Clarkson of Old Lyme, the ship's engineer, encountered her on the beach. It appeared her mother was rejecting her as she tried to nurse.
"She grabbed our hearts," Garfield said. "Ben and I looked at each other, and he said, 'what about a puppy?' "
Fogo, named for a small volcanic island in Cape Verde, is about three months old, they think, and has acquired her sea legs. She sleeps in the ship's after cabin, sometimes bunk hopping. Dani Settle, the cook, fed her oatmeal and milk when she first arrived on board, but she's working now from a supply of puppy chow donated by a film crew that visited the ship.
While Amistad was making an Atlantic passage last month, Fogo acquired the habit of pouncing on flying fish as they landed on deck. They tried to limit her to eating one of these a day. She can now navigate her own way up on deck from the aft cabin but hasn't yet mastered the ladder to go down into the main cabin.
After the ocean crossing, the ship arrived in Barbados and is expected back in the United States, in Charleston, by mid-May. They are due home by the end of June.
Fogo will eventually live with Clarkson in Old Lyme. Clarkson's son, Toby, a history major at the University of South Carolina, took a semester off and has joined his father on Amistad. The two of them had a burial at sea on the trip for Shane, the last family dog, whose ashes they took with them.

CELEBRATE MOTHER’S DAY THE FRESH AIR FUND WAY!
Each summer, many mothers in and around the New Bedford area become Fresh Air moms, as they open their hearts to New York City children through The Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Town program. Since 1877, The Fresh Air Fund has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million children from low-income neighborhoods in New York City. Host families in rural and suburban communities throughout 13 northeastern states and Canada welcome inner-city children into their home for two weeks or more. This Mother’s Day, consider inviting an inner-city child to share the joys of your community with your family.
“By opening your doors, you open your heart a little bit and the experience has a wonderful effect on your family,” says a Fresh Air host mom. The Fresh Air Fund needs your help now to celebrate its 132nd summer of sharing the simple joys of small-town life, like running barefoot through the grass, playing in a sprinkler, or catching butterflies. For two weeks, share your love by volunteering to become a summertime host to a New York City child.
