Mildred Belle, Day 6

Hello all!

As we make our way to Wye Island this morning, we have an update for you on what we did for day 6 of our trip.


"Yesterday, June 2nd, we sailed out of Jefferson Patterson Park in Maryland for about an hour boat ride to Calvert Marine Museum. It was pretty cool. It had a lot about boating and fishing vessels used in the chesapeake Bay throughout its history. It also had an aquarium and a fossil room. We got in groups and tried to finish the scavenger hunt. After the museum we ate a pasta salad that Offie, one of our support staff, made. It was really good. Then we split up into watches. My watch, Starboard Watch, ran the boat doing navigation, and Robert drove at the helm. Then we switched and Port Watch did navigation while we studied how animals adapt. When we finally docked for the end of the day it was at Slaughter Creek. We swam at a small pool at the marina. Then we set up our camp at a field there. Later, after a stir fry dinner, we played Ultimate Frisbee. My team won both games. Then we went to sleep."
