From Gdansk to Freeport
The Antica, a fishing boat that plied the waters of the Baltic Sea for almost 30 years, will be docked in Freeport from May 17 to May 31 before returning to its native port of Gdansk, Poland. Captain Jerzy Wasowicz purchased the boat in 1980 and spent 10 years reconstructing the vessel so it would be able to weather his planned "around-the-world". expeditions.
Beginning in 1991, Captain Wasowicz and his crew navigated the Antica to South America, around Cape Horn, to Asia and then back to North America and finally home to Gdansk. He will be on board the Antica when it is docked at the Esplanade on the Nautical Mile, Woodcleft Avenue, to answer questions. For further information, contact 377-2246. •

increase of between $1-1.1 million, and described the need for roof replacement at Dodd and the Technical Wing of the high school, a new basement sump pump at the high school and a districtwide building condition survey.
