O wait, its the last day?






So now that the last day is upon us we really don't want to leave quite yet! But I am sure once we are sleeping in beds again all worries will be put sleep... literally. Sorry about not posting on the blog lately, but it has been hard because of weather and internet connection. Our last few days have been very busy and fun. We went crabbing with a waterman named Captain Clay. Whatever we caught we got to keep! If we missed a crab with the nets Captain Clay had us get on top of the boat and sing a song. I personally (Andrew) did not miss a single one! However, some of the kids obviously don't have the waterman gene and were singing their hearts out. Captain Clay was confused with the fact that we actually ENJOYED singing and were not really embarrassed. That night we feasted on an entire bushel of crabs (which was way too much for us) and enjoyed it immensely. Dylan and Doug were standouts in total crab annihilation. Post crab-feast we engaged in an an annihilation of a much sweeter sort- SMORES! The kids went crazy (see pictures).
So here we are today, getting under way on route to BALTIMORE! The students are all going to be directing the ship FULLY today- that means NO help from captain Joe or first mate Ned. I have full faith in them. Once we get back to land we will be having a final dance tonight for all of the kids involved. Tomorrow the kids will be having their graduation and then I am sure everyone reading will be greeting the kids back home!
Until tomorrow, Mildred Belle signing out!
