This morning the boat started going at about 6AM to make up for the previous day's lost time. There was a very thick fog, and we could not see for more than a few feet in front of us. We finally got out of the fot when we pulled into Mystic and docked around noon.
We then went to the museum area and watched "A Whale of a Tale," which was a tale of a girl who pretended to be a boy in order to go aboard a whaling ship. Yolanda (Audrey) and Lauren both got to participate in the play! After that, we split up into groups to find answers to a list of questions given to us about the seaport.
At 3:00, we all went to the planetarium to learn how sailors could navigate using the stars. We then visited a few of the gift shops. After that we went to the Charles W. Morgan whaling ship to learn about what sailors did during their time on dog watches. The were whittling, sewing, and playing music on banjos, violins, and ukeleles.
We returned to the boat for a dinner of pizza and pop. After dinner, we went to a grassy area to learn how to make ditty bags and spent about an hour working on our own. It was another busy day onboard the Lady Maryland!
