Day 7, Tuesday, July 10

Today we caught 5 crabs, 2 white perches, a croaker, 6 oyster shells, and a bunch of jellyfish… The white perch had a spiky and soft dorsal fin. The croaker could croak and we caught 2 soft shell crabs. We also went trawling again and a caught a foot long white perch but we had to let it go because we didn’t have enough water for it to sustain life…

We went through Knapps Narrows today and it was not as crowded as I thought because the people there were out working. There were stil some people who saw and started taking pictures because there are only about 20 skipjacks in the Chesapeake Bay.

Today we sailed 35 miles from Horn Point all the way to Annapolis (Eastport specifically). We’re sleeping at the Annapolis Maritime Museum which looks out on the bay and the Sigsbee is docked right outside. A storm’s coming in and creating some very choppy water on the bay and some large storm clouds are brewing….
