Day 7-8

With a whoosh and a wish we set off on Day 7 for fun times across the bay, rapping up our tour of the eastern shore with a final glance at Tilghman Island and its Environmental Center and a class on buoyancy in which the students built their own boats from aluminum foil.  After enjoying some sailing in silence, we asked for Poseidon’s blessing by tossing in a penny each to the deepest point in the bay.  The students then studied for their presentations the next day and enjoyed a classic dessert of s’mores around the campfire.

An early rising lead the way into a great day as he students celebrated the final moments of camping. Starting at a nearby beach, the students took time to learn about local flora and fauna that they were interested in even more and finish their presentations as well as enjoy the the hot sand and cool waves.  We then visited another beautiful museum dedicated to the bay and the oyster industry.As they set up camp they took a few moments to play some frisbee and finally enjoy some sparklers with  the crew.  Suddenly, the moment had arrived for presentations, and the students nailed every single one of them discussing some of the most interesting and enticing natural aspects of Maryland and the bay.  Tomorrow starts our last day and yet as much as home is missed the waves will be missed just the same.
