Whale whale whale, what progress have we made.

It's the morning of Friday, July 28th and we have already made so much progress. Yesterday was a long day of traveling (71 miles to be exact!) and we look forward to a day of sailing and trawling ahead. Wednesday was spent getting introduced to the lady Maryland and on a whale watch out in Gloucester where we encountered 6 humpback whales and 2 minkes! The humpback whales were Nile, Firefly, Firefly's 2017 calf, Jabiru, Pele, and Erruption. Yesterday, we learned how do boat checks, man the sails, raise an anchor, tie some knots, navigate the boat, and so much more! Can't wait to see what the days ahead bring!
What a wonderful way surprise on our way through the Cape Cod canal, a beautiful double rainbow!
