CTY Whales Day 6

The class on whales and estuary systems is awesome. I've been learning how to set sail, anchor, tie knots and other things. The most fun part for me is being at the helm. Yesterday was terrific because a humpback whale kept coming up to the side of our boat and going under it doing tricks. The whale kept going to the surface of the water and diving down so you could see the cool tail. It got as close as five feet to us! You could see the scars on its face and fins. It was wonderful. The whole crew is very helpful and interesting.

How lucky that you had a whale visit. Keep sharing your experiences as the sailing part of the course ends soon. If anyone has a digital camera, this may be a good time to post a photo of the happy students together. Surely other parents would like to see their son or daughter now that it's been a week since we dropped you all off. Continue to explore, learn and have fun. Love to Bethany from your mom and dad (who miss you very much).
