To Baltimore!

Last night was a great time. After motoring into Gibson Island Yacht club we quickly set up tents and played a great game of ultimate frisbee. Dinner was the best yet because we feasted on the crabs we caught! Everyone dug into the crabs and captain Joe taught us the proper way to get the most out of your personal crab. Each of us also got to enjoy one of the mammoth crabs (there were about 20 of them). We were one of the only LCF trips EVER to finish an entire bushel of crabs (its harder than it sounds). After the crab feast we sat down and enjoyed some delicious s'mores. Although we did not have much room in our stomachs we found some for s'mores. This morning we tye dyed t-shirts and they turned out great. Currently, the students are taking their navigation final and working on their final project for Ms. Ashley. Tonight the kids will have a graduation dance with everyone from all of the different Marine Science groups. This has certainly been a great trip!

The Last Full Day!

As Arjun proudly mans the helm and Joe and George meticulously pour over charts of the Chesapeake Bay, the Port Watch is in fine form. Today is the final day of navigating for these students and it is obvious how much they have learned! Port watch is currently in charge of the boat while Starboard watch is working on their final projects dealing with conserving the Chesapeake Bay.

This morning we all went crabbing with Captain Clay. He took the Port watch (Arjun, Derek, George, Joe, and Melissa) out at 5 AM and they caught a Bushel and a half of crabs! The crabs were HUGE! Every time that you missed a crab you had to sing a song... Derek broke the previous record. The Starboard watch (everyone else) went out at 8:30 and did very well, but did not catch quite as much as Port. We learned that the crabs usually feed earlier in the morning. A few of the crabs were enormous and we can't wait to eat them for dinner. Tonight we will also be tye dying and having smores. We passed the Sigsby (Oysters) and had a few words with them. We are going to all sail into Baltimore at 1pm tomorrow so that all three of the LCF boats dock at the same time. It should be a nice sight!
