Whales CTY Summer Session 2 Day 5

Day 5
Well, it's very easy to lose track of time, but I do know it's either Sunday or Monday and it's also Cephlopod Appreciation Day!
So, we actually went on land today to go dissect squids, but first we went to the beach. While everyone went into the ocean, I decided to get a tan. I was spoiled with the warm Israeli waters. Then after getting burned (not tanned), my friend, Monica, and I decided to take a shower after six whole days without running water. It was AMAZING!!! We smelled so much better, and our hair wasn't greasy anymore.
After the beach, we went and dissected squids. We had fun getting the goo and ink on eachother. After we finished the dissection, we went back to the boat, and we sailed all the way to Fisher's Island. We didn't use the engine at all. A storm almost caught us, but instead we landed in fog, which is currently blocking the view of the stars. I had a chance to steer some of the way, which is not very easy with a storm tailing your back.

So, after we anchored, we had our muster where we talk about the day. We also play a game called stealth, in which a clothes pin is pinned on people in stealth. Who ever has it at the begining of muster has to do a performance in front of everyone. We had a lot of fun ganging up on the crew, so in the end big Jimmy (the crew member, not Fonda) ended up with it. Big Jimmy read us a poem dedicated to Betty (also a crew member named Owen, long story). After the poem we all ate gummy worms.
And that's the end of our day. I'm writing this while watching the boat at night. Good night.
