After we were woken up at 6:00 in the morning, we took down our tents and split into our Port and Starboard watches. Port watch headed to the boat and learned how to prep to get underway while starboard watch learned about the Chesapeake Bay ecology. We began to sail to Horn Point. As we continued sailing, the rain got progressively worse and soon forecasts predicted water spouts and high waves. Due to bad weather we were forced to turn back, and head back to the Solomons, not before one extrodanarily tall student got to drive the boat. When we got back to the docks, the rain had stopped and we began activities. We fished for jellyfish, tested water samples and shucked oysters. We went back to the Calvert Hills to camp. We watched a demonstration of a runoff model and learned about Riperian Buffers, salt marshes, and oyster reefs. We had a scrumptious
dinner of meatball subs, salad, and corn on the cob. We then moved our belongings to a pavilion to be sheltered from possible rain and set up our tents. We then painted out watch flags. Tomorrow we will be sailing to Horn Point to camp and continue on our way from there.

Fun and adventure-filled day :)
Just read your article. Good one. I liked it. Keep going. you are a best writer your site is very useful and informative thanks for sharing! Known as the "kayak fisherman's issue," how would you oar and fish while on a kayak? With just two hands, how would you hold your angling pole bar and move your kayak? spinning reels.
