Day 5!

Hello again! Yesterday was another super fun day! We spent a lot of time on the boat as we sailed from Tilghman’s Island towards Horn Point. On the way, we charted our course using maps of the area and predicted how long the transit would take. We also dredged for oysters and fished using a trawl net. Once we finished hauling in the nets and the dredge, we examined our catch to figure out exactly what we caught. We also swam later in the afternoon by anchoring the boat and jumping off (don’t worry, everyone wore life jackets :) ). Overall, everyone had fun and learned a lot, so it was an amazing day! Here we are learning about salinity levels.
