We were excited that we had the opportunity to share Derrick’s career path with the Kindergarten Class at Stone Harbor Elementary School. He shared his journey through the Landing School in Arundel, Maine where he developed his skills in Boat Building, Yacht design, and Engineering. Derrick furthered his skills through his employment at Bayliss Boatworks in Wanchese, NC. He was a part of building 3 Gameboat Yachts before returning to Stone Harbor, NJ to begin his own business, 7 Mile Marine. He now works locally to build and install docks, pilings and bulkheads. The children enjoyed seeing the excitement of having a career in the marine field. Derrick instructed the children on how to tie knots which is an integral part of working on the water. It was a very fun day for all.
