Day 4 - Block Island, RI
Today was a very eventful day. We woke up to cheeseball Saturday which is a CTY crew event. We opened the 25 ounce tub at 7am and the tub was empty at about 9:30am. Another fun CTY crew event was stelth. The close pin was secretly put onto someone and once they found it they would secretly put it on someone else. Joelle had stealth at the end of the day and did the worm on the boat to entertain everyone.
After sailing through the night we arrived at Block Island, RI. We got picked up and brought to the dock and walked a half hour to a gorgeous beach. The water was cold but lots of fun. We watched our 3 beach balls blow away by the current. Two minutes after they entered the water. After four days on the boat we all took a "shower," We shampooed and conditioned out hair and washed it out in the water. You should have been there to see the looks of the people around us staring as we applied shampoo in our head. After the beach we got a ride back to out boat. Dinner was waiting for us and we ate as a full group for the first time in the past two days. After dinner a crew member saw a harbor porpouise and some of the kids saw it too. We were then told to meet in the galley.(our sleeping area/ kitchen) To have an important talk about taking care of the head. (toilet) But when the head door was open out cheif mate Emma came out with Shay's birthday cake. Later we found out there were not any harbor porpouises and we were all fooled. During muster/mustard (group meeting) after Joelle's stealth performance, the crew displayed the stuff that was out of place. Most of it belong to Joelle with Rory in second. For every piece found the person had to entertain the group to retrieve their belongings. Once everyone claimed their stuff we went over highlights of the day. The day officially ended with a poem by Walt Whitman read by Haley. Thank you Jimmy for the food!!! (smiley) We are all looking forward to the next two days for the next two birthdays. I've been requested to make a quotes of the day section so here it is:
" I called that" Rory " "Well I picked up the phone so that is ok" Joelle
" Happy Birthday to you, you live in the boat, you smell like the head, and you look like a goat" - Mike
" Trisha kicked the bucket" - Zach
- Joelle and Zach
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAY!!!!!
