CTY Whales Session 2 Day 3

7/10/09

Day 3
Today we had an adventure. To greet us this morning was the sun! After heating up like cold-blooded lizards in the sun, we set off for the Provincetown Center for Costal Studies. After going backwards, forewards, through the cementary, down the street, calling for directions, walking back around in a circle, and then finding the PCCS. Once we finally got there, we met a woman who told us about the disentanglement of marine animals. She told us how different whales got caught in gear and the type of gear that usually catches animals. After we got the low down, we received some some awesome stickers with the hotline number on it. After we went back (the right way) we set off sailing to the Cape Cod Canal, learning along the way about navagation and going over marine mammals using jeopordy! This ride was pretty normal, no barf flying accross the deck, an no desperate attempt to get our sea legs. Currently we are anchored in the Vinyard Sound getting ready for night watch and sleep! Hopefully Bowie will remember to type up the blog, if he forgets don't panic, we didn't die. If he does, we will get back to you tomorrow, Bye!

Hey guys... Amy and I are cracking up at this post! Glad you're not dead. Amy says you need to include who wrote this (and all) post(s)! All is well on land. We went to the JHU dance last night and our new kids actually DANCED... unlike some people we know...! It was great!

Can't wait for the next post!

Glad to know you are all alive. Sophia should know that they are predicting an El Nino year-more rain, too warm for the seals. Ocean swimming toasty when you get back. Dad has not turned your room into an entertainment center (yet).

Hello All,

As my wife & I departed Provincetown Harbor early last Thursday (July 10) I snapped a couple of pictures of Lady Maryland tied to the end of McMillan Wharf.
I thought you might enjoy viewing them and sharing them with your families.

Each image is a little over a meg in size, so if you are limited in your internet service underway, you may want to wait till you reach land before viewing them.

I have posted them at:
