Day 4
In the morning, we lifted lifted anchor from outside Provincetown and made our way into the harbor. We took the dingie to land and listened to a lecture on whale entanglement and possible solutions to the issue at hand. After we finished the talk, we went to a pirate museum and learned all about the immense treasure that was found off the coast of Cape Cod. After we left Provincetown, there was a nice wind and we set sail to go to the Canal. When we got into the canal, we took down the sails and used motor because the Canal was too narrow. When we got into Buzzard's Bay, we threw out the trawl net for the second day in a row. We caught many conb jellies, which don't sting. We also caught a spider crab and some krill. Hailey said that it was possible to eat a comb jelly, so I (George) did just that. It wasn't that bad. We also tested the pH, salinatey and DO of the water where we trawled. We then entered Wood's Hole, which was a long stretch due to the fact that we had no wind to sail on. As we were entering Martha's Vineyard, out motor was out,so we were sailing approximately four inched per hour for a while. Finally, we anchored and the was amazingly clear with a huge array of stars.
