Fossil hunting! Interpretive dance! Day 6!

Brought to you by bloggers old and new.

"Today we woke up quite early. We quickly picked up some muffins and headed to Calvert Cliffs to go fossil hunting. After an hour we went back, packed up camp and headed to the Mildred Belle. We trawled and caught a mud crab, comb jellies, and sea nettles. Some of us made deals that we would eat comb jellies with mate Pete. They were thrown back before we could eat them because they were "stale" from the sun. We also had a swim call. It was amazing. We had a comb jelly war. We came up with interpretive dances for different animals. The Starboard group learned about plankton. Now we are looking up at the clear night. We can see every constellation. The moon is only showing a tip and it’s red. Being able to lie on the grass and see the stars is worth the bug bites."

Dear crew of the MB:
Can't wait to see you tomorrow! I am hoping however, that you do get showers first. We have missed you so much that I guess we'll even hug you even if you didn't.
