Lady Maryland: Trip #3 (Day Five)

Friday was filled with a ton of activities in town. It also proved to be completely different weather-wise than the previous day: sunny, calm and a scorching 90 degree heat. It was all about water bottles and sunscreen today.

In the morning, the cadets visited the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies to listen to an engaging presentation about whale disentanglement efforts. It was quite inspiring to hear the stories and watch the videos. These people truly make a difference!

After a quick lunch, many of the cadets were a little dispirited because of the oppressive heat. Little did they know about the surprise the crew had planed for them: swimming at the beach and then ice-cream! What a refresher!

After that, the cadets were full of energy for a visit to the Pilgrim’s monument and museum. The views from the top were spectacular – a 360 degree view of Cape Cod, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Bay.

Another great day topped of by a fine dinner of vegetable soup and corn on the cob. Yum!
