Penultimate day

"Yesterday, we got to sleep in until eight o'clock. We then boarded the Mildred Belle and began our journey to Rock Hall. On the way we finished our projects and then split into our watches. For the rest of the trip we stayed on our watches and then we ate lunch. After lunch we went swimming in the cool, refreshing bay water. Shortly after we got back on the boat, we arrived at Rock Hall. No one knows why it is called Rock Hall, but I think it's because there are a lot of striped bass (also known as rockfish). After one of the fastest dockings I've seen this trip, Offie drove us to the campsite. We camped near a playground. It had swings, a teeter-totter, a tractor thingy, a baseball field, and a wonderful pavillion which was perfect for cooling off after we played. Sadly, we had to go to bed early, but when we got up super early at 4:30 AM we got to go trotlining (a method of crabbing)."
