On the way to Tilghman Island, we dredged for oysters and trawled for fish. We actually caught a large amount of crabs, fish, and tons of jellies! After we docked in Tilghman Island, we went to a small environmental center right on the canal. The center had many baby turtles, terrapins, seahorses, and horseshoe crabs, and we even got to see an injured snapping turtle in rehabilitation. Afterwards, we were relieved when we had the chance to relax in air conditioning at an educational facility called Tilghman Island Watermen's Museum. There were so many artifacts and materials that showed how the oyster, fish, and crab industries started. Then a thunderstorm occurred after we set up camp, so we immediately left to go to a pavilion in the nearby park. While under the protection of the pavilion, we played card games and ate delicious snacks. Once it stopped we left the park and started preparing dinner. To finish up the day, we had a fun activity—fish inking! We took paint and ink and decorated tote bags and card stock by using actual fish as stamps. It was pretty cool, and yes, we all washed our hands really well once we finished!!! These past few days have been busy and full of sailing, fishing, museums, animals, and a lot of fun!
