Whales CTY Summer Session 1 Day 7

This morning we went into Provincetown. It was a very colorful town with an expressive, free vibe. We visited the Pilgrim Monument, which consisted of 116 stairs. We reached the top in less than 6 minutes! From the top, we had a very beautiful panoramic view of Cape Cod. After visiting the the gift shop, we headed back to the boat to continue our journey. At about 4:20 pm, we saw our first humpback whale. As we sailed closer, we saw there were more of them. We even saw a mom and her calf. We were very surprised and excited as we ran across the boat taking pictures and descriptive videos. After about 2 hours of whale watching, we finally calmed down at the sight of the whales and got to peacefully eat dinner. Rachael had a hydrophone, a device that allowed us to hear the whales, which was very cool. At the same time, Sinker(our captain) caught a 3'2" striped bass. It was awesome! We are now writing messages in a bottle to be found by strangers...who knows when! A day that started with visiting a colorful town and doing boat chores ended up being one of the greatest days aboard the Lady Maryland!
