Favorite First Day Firsts

Happy Fourth of July.
On our first day on the Sigsbee we met our captain, Captain Kate, as well as the rest of the crew. After lunch, we went out for a short trip but had to change our plans because of the weather. Still, there were some memorable firsts for all of the students.
Some firsts had to do with the boat. Most people thought their favorite first was just being on the boat for the first time while others, like Matt, were more specific and said really enjoyed their first time running up the sail.






We had a great time on land as well, from making dinner to learning how to set up camp. Henry and Patrick were pros at making salad and Amna used a butter knife to cut tomatoes wafer thin (almost...). Mickey helped make spagetti that everyone loved and we quickly finished.



Though we learned how to set up tents, actually didn't get to sleep on them on the first day. Because of that weather we mentioned earlier we slept inside. Perhaps we'll tell you more about that when you see us...
