News from the Pirates of the Belle: (direct from the students for July 1, 2008)
"2nd Entry. Today was the second day of the awesome adventure! The first watch (starboard watch: Maura the Maestro,Off-road Aaron, Martin le Saber, Samurai John, Bullseye John, and Anna Valkerie) woke up at 5AM and headed down to Capt. Clay's and went crabbing. They p caught 10 crabs but dropped 21. At 7:30, the port watch (everyone else)woke up, cleaned and packed up camp tnen headed to Capt. Clay's and switched with the ports and went crabbing. They caught 10 crabs but only lost 6. There weren't as many crabs biting.
After we went crabbing, we went onto the boat and started watch and lessons. Starboards watch was on lookout, did navigation, wheelhouse (driving), and boat checks. Port had lessons on the Chesapeake Bay and plankton. We were also given a partner project to write a newspaper article for a crab newspaper. After that we started learning more about crabs then docked.
When it was time to eat, only half of us ate crabs. Kim, Tim, Jose, and Pete were the last eating crabs. As are Marylanders (except Pete) discovered the magical power of "CRABDAR" "The ability to find crabmeat in a pile of shells at night with no light, which comes with living in MD. Everyone else "chillaxed" and played frisbee until the Amazing Australian Pistol Pete gave a "thrilling" explanation of embassies. Then we went to sleep."

Jonathan (hayon) the SWIFT... " I didnt know the words to Mary Had a little lamb."
(Me)- "The Maryland Trifecta wields the awesome power of CRABDAR!!!"
Until Next time.... we've got a port to storm!!!
