First Day On The Bay!!!




These photos are Kelly hangin out, Jackie furling the sail (folding it around the boom so we can tie it up) and Jose, Adam, and Veda after trawling and catching tons and tons of jellyfish!





Today we had our first day on the bay. Everyone did great on the boat and we pulled two huge, dead horseshoe crabs out of the bay to study. Our first team building activity was making spaghetti for dinner. Though we burned it and it was a bit chunky, we still thought it was noodely delicious! After dinner Ethan chugged an entire pan of tomato sauce to save us from all having to eat more until it was gone. Then we had an incredible swim under a bridge. It was really cool.
Afterwords we went back to camp, where our port-a-potty smelled like flowers on a spring morning (we were told we should keep the blog upbeat). We also learned to set up tents. The tents were made to fit like six people, but the counselors let us sleep 2-3 people per tent.

Hi, everyone

Hope it's cooler on the bay for you folks than it is for us.

Ahoy, Sigsbee!

Can't wait to hear more about your adventures on the Bay. We got word that there's been some Evan sightings back on campus. Smooth sailing!
