The Lady Maryland CTY crew has officially had two full days in Woods Hole. After spending the day sailing in the beautiful weather and trawling for some fish right off shore, we docked and were able to stretch our cramped legs at a nearby park until dinner time. After that we got a wonderful lesson from Joe that included some bird charades. (Hint: ask us for an impression of any bird and I bet we can do it!)
We started our day today by visiting the Aquarium. We saw starfish, large blue lobsters, toadfish, salmon, seahorses, and more! After lunch we got an extra special treat of getting a tour of the Atlantis research vessel. We got to see the WHOI's famous submarine Alvin in person! What an amazing experience to lay hands on this legendary vessel. We also got a personal tour of some of WHOI's engineering facilities and saw some incredible 3-D printers. We spent the rest of the day exploring Woods Hole more by visiting two other exhibits, getting to seine on the beach, and going on a photo scavenger hunt back to the Lady Maryland.
We can't wait to see what the next days of our trip bring! Stay tuned for more :)
Pulling up the trawling net is a team effort!

Don't be fooled by our clothes- the water was perfect and some of us went for a swim!

Aquarium fun
After a long day we get a little silly
Scavenger hunt had us find a "flying dessert". I think this works.
