Day 1: Wind, Waves, and ...Ghosts?

On our first day, we cast off from the marina at Solomon's Island to quickly be met with heavy winds and rough waters. Despite some initial sea sickness, everyone enjoyed the waves and spent most of the trip lined up along the rail, enjoying the wild ride. We then split up into our two groups, "starboard watch" and "port watch," and learned about navigation and some general Chesapeake Bay trivia. Some highlights of the trip were seeing jellyfish float past, and watching the ospreys and pelicans soaring around the boat. Our campground at Lookout Point was rumored to be the second most haunted place in America because of the many soldiers who died there in the Civil War, which added a bit of intrigue to our first night of camping. Everyone had a an adventurous first day, and says "Hi!" to their families.
