Here's the Sigsbee, checking in again. We had a great sail yesterday, which brought us from Tilghman Island to St. Michael's. The marina was home to a number of impressive boats, including two other skipjacks. After a hearty lunch, the students got a chance to explore the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. The Oystering exhibit was particularly interesting, since we've spent a lot of time talking about oysters and this industry that surrounds them. The testimonials from real-life oysterman made us all proud to be sailing on a skipjack!
Today is our last full day of sailing and the students are taking primary responsibility onboard. Its amazing to see how much we've improved in these eight days, and how close everyone has become. We're all excited to get back to friends and family, but saying goodbye might make even Captain Joe cry!
