When we woke up at a dock in New Bedford we were looking at a busy morning. After cleaning dishes and the boat we headed to the Whaling Museum. Since we reached the museum early we had pretty much all the exhibits to ourselves.
We split into pairs and went to all types of different exhibits. One showed the full skeleton of a Sperm Whale, and one showed clips of old whaling trips. After an hour of exploring the museum we watched a short movie of how whaling changed New Bedford completely.
After leaving the Whaling Museum we headed to the Moby Dick Church, learning many facts about whaling. After a short stop in, we headed back to the boat to leave the dock.
By midday we reached the Cape Cod Canal. After passing many boats we reached the end. While one watch drove, checked on and navigated the boat, the other group worked on its whale project. The project, requiring one group to create a whale of the future and the other to create a whale of the past, required lots of research that lasted most of the day.
As we headed to Provincetown we searched for whales. Sadly, we didn't spot any and we reached the port at sunset. As we docked we learned our dock watch times and relaxed at the end of another full day.
