Day 8, July 11, 2012

Today is our second to last day on the boat. I like the boat. We learn a lot. We about to go trawling and I am excited to see what we will catch.

Today we woke up at either 7 or 6 in the morning and prepared to leave… While we were on the boat the crew and I noticed that there was a giant bug that looked like a mosquito. In the end we end we found out that it was a crane fly and that crane flies do not bite. There were also a lot of Japanese beetles. Then we went trawling in 20 feet of water and caught a rock that had a lot of bay animals on it.

Today is the last full day on the bay... We are preparing to trawl for organisms in the bay, and are thankful for a cool day after the rain. I have already enjoyed the many activities that we have done so far. I look forward to last day as we set sail to the harbor of Baltimore…
