This entry marks the first day on the Lady Maryland for the CTY summer whale students of session three. Each member will have at least one opportunity to report the days events by writing the blog.
This very first entry is written by KC:
Our first day began bright and early at 6:30 when we started to get ready for the long drive from Baltimore to Oyster Bay, NY. After an insanely long six hours of bonding time in a van, we finally arrived at Oyster Bay. After a brief introduction to our boat, The Lady Maryland, and a delicious lunch, we immediately started our first activity; kayaking. Shortly after our long paddling workout, we got acquainted with the crew who all seem really cool. We were fed dinner and told about the basic safety precautions on the boat. We also were split into two groups and assigned watches (Port and Starboard), so that we can take turns watching the boat and making routine checks. As the day came to an end we all gathered in a muster, or a meeting, and we were given our night watch time. It was a VERY eventful first day, and a great start to what promises to be a wonderful trip.

Our CTY Whale students, currently on land, also wanted to share their experiences so far.

"Our class was introduced to Mr. Spencer and Miss Pam. They began with a slideshow about cetaceans and their lifestyle. We leanred about odontocetes and mysticetes.
During out study hall, we were allowed to choose an article to read about whales. Following the study hall we began a dissection of a bass. There was a lot of black goop in the stomachs of the bass. The whole room smelled of fish too.
Overall, we have learned may new facts on cetaceans, their behaviors and life, in just the first day."
