Another average day started, but this time with rain... lots of rain. We woke up docked in Oyster Bay, NY, to the sight of a storm. The storm consisted of constant thunder, lightning, and rain. After eating and cleaning up breakfast, we left the Lady Maryland to go to a local Marine Center to learn about whaling. Luckily, after the one hour class, the rain and rough weather slowed down enough to get underway.
Throughout the day we learned about different marine mammals and how they live and adapt under the sea. We were also taught about the different types of knots, how to navigate, and how to steer at the helm. We finally found the spot where we were going to anchor. The night ended with ourusual nightly meeting, or our "muster". It was another satisfying end to another awesome day. Cetaceans rock!
