Day 9, July 17

      The last day has arrived and we are finally sailing back to Baltimore! Our day began when the Port watch was woken up at 4 am so that they could go crabbing with Captain Clay. Captain Clay has lived and fished in the Chesapeake all his life, so he was a very knowledgeable guide. While Port watch was gone Starboard watch got ready for the day and packed up camp. Then, around 9 am the two groups switched. We all enjoyed listening to Captain Clay's descriptions of what the bay used to be like, and how it has changed. It was a beautiful morning and we caught many crabs so everyone left in good spirits! After this final adventure we got back on the Sigsbee, ate lunch, and are now sailing smoothly. It has been an amazing trip, full of new experiences, but I think all anyone wants to do now is take a shower!
