"Day 5 definitely brought something new to our entire camping experience. To start the day, as usual we set up the boat, did some daily tests and sailed the shores of Chesapeake bay.
Then when we arrived at the campsite we got in our bathing suits and trunks and went canoeing. It was so much fun especially since I had never been canoeing. A lot of us tipped and had to get back up! After canoeing we met at a different camping site than the day before and we ate a great dinner, which was stir-fry chicken, steamed vegetables and rice.
But what about the fireworks to celebrate the patriotic day of the 4th of July? We did not have fireworks, but as Captain Kate would say, Mother Nature brought us her fireworks. So as we sat in the opened pavillion, we stared at the heavens while lightning strode from place to place."

Now for Day 6...
"In the morning we set the boat to sail to Kent Island. Kent Island was fun. When we got here we set up the tents, then washed the dishes to start dinner. For dinner we made pizza, it was the best of all. Next, we went to go see some owl's habitats. It was pretty fun. When we got back to the camping site we got to call home. That was a little fun too. Then, we made s'mores. They were good. I never had them before. Finally, we ended the day with making a group circle and saying why we appreciate the person to the right of us. That night there was a huge thunderstorm. I was so scared! But, I lasted through the night even when a spider crawled on me."

All right, thanks kids! We're on our way to Rock Hall from Kent Island as I type this, so we'll let you know how the rest of our day goes.
Over & out,

It was wonderful to hear from Alex last night. It sounds like you "Watermen" are all having a great time, despite the weather. Thank goodness, summer storms pass quickly.
We were in Chestertown visiting Alex's sister, Carolyn, at CTYs BayCo program this morning. We saw the skipjack, "Elsworth." It was also built in 1901 but is only 40 feet long. She's a beauty.
By the way, the kids in the program played, "Are you smarter than a CTY student?" against their RAs. The RAs won by 1 point! But, they are still getting dunked at today's water games because the RA who made up the questions also answered some of the questions. Am I giving you any ideas?
Have Fun!
Kimberly's Tia- It was amazing to hear from you. I am so happy that you are having such a good time. Keep up the great work and continue having a lot of fun. You are not missing much around here; weather has been gray and cloudy.
Keep having fun!
Hey Mark!
I was sooooooo happy to hear from you!
We (the family) are praying for you and all of the other kids that no more of you land in the water again! Say kids keep on your life jackets!
For the 5th time T mobil is sending your cell phones and I am sending a package, if the phones are not here today when I get home to send your package I am cancelling and going directly to the store! TODAY.
I do miss not hearing from you.
Your sister is coming home today because she is home sick! Imagine that!
You kids enjoy your time and continue to learn all you can! I sure wish I was there to see some of the things you saw and do some of the things, even the yuky ones!
Love mom
Hello Sigsbee Crew,
Thanks for letting us join you last evening. It was great hearing about your adventures firsthand!
We especially enjoyed the skits you performed.
Have a safe last day on the water. I hope you enjoy your classroom studies as much as you've liked the Sigsbee.
Alex's Mom and Dad
