CTY Whales Trip 1 Day 2

Day 2
6/29/2010

Today we had cinnamon buns for breakfast : ). Then, when we were done with breakfast, we started watch. Some people got seasick and had to sit out on some of their watches. Then, before lunch we had a man overboard drill and we had to figure out how to get the "people" back onboard. After lunch, we saw porpoises and they were frolicking in the water. We learned how to navigate the boat and how to steer the boat. We did our first boat checks by ourselves. Josh and Sam broke the world record for fastest boat check. Tonight we have to do watches at night while underway. The weather today was overall kind of cool, but nice.

I was able to watch from the Manhattan Bridge this morning as Lady Maryland appeared under the Brooklyn Bridge and sailed up the East River shortly after sunrise. (Jenna, I think you expected to see me on the Brooklyn Bridge, but that didn't work; sorry for any confusion.) Have fun in Oyster Bay today & enjoy the rest of your trip!~Laura Wu

Sounds like a great sail, and a good day in Oyster Bay. The porpoises sound really neat. Hoping for smooth sailing tomorrow for all.

Sounds like fun - except for the seasickness... one way to get out of standing watch though! Hope you are taking lots of pictures Judith so we can relive your adventure when you get home! Hoping for beautiful weather for you all!
