Today we started out leaving Gloucester harbor. Everyone was excited to leave the harbor, even though we did not know quite what we were doing. We started very smooth; the water was calm. As the trip went on the water got choppy. Maren and Trish got sea sick, but they were troopers. Shay loved bow watch, where she became completely soaked. Sean is feeling much better after resting on the bus. Sean, Mike, and Zach loved steering the boat. Alex had fun dangling over the water on the bow spirit. Joelle single-handely saved us all from the kraken as we sailed into the sunset. Just kidding she got a little sea sick. We ended the day wonderfully with amazing forth of July fireworks. Rory led us in many interpretive dances.
Day two started out choppy and stormy, but by lunch it was much better. We ate delicious chili. (courtesy of Jimmy). We went into P-town and climbed to the top of the Pilgrim memorial. Then we had ice cream and fries in celebration of making it to the top. We also learned about whale entanglement. The pirate museum was our last stop before going back to sea. The water was calm and everyone had a great night.

It's incredible to be able to read about this journey as you go along. It sounds exciting and fantastic. The pictures are great! Rory's gramp reminds me that in WW II he sailed on a ship barely bigger than the Lady Maryland but it carried a crew of thirty-five!Arrrgh, Mateys! Clew up! Helms alee! (Maybe you can tell me what this all means when you get back...)Thanks so much for doing this blog. (from Rory's mom)
Sean thanks to those who let me know you are feeling better. Any whale sightings? How about Pirates and parrots with wooden legs? Everyone missed you at the family reunion. That laundry is really backing up, can't wait for you to get home. Mom
