Today, we finally set sail on the Lady Maryland! We were all exhausted from the train ride and car ride, but we managed somehow. We all learned how to set up the boat, including pulling up the sails, which was pretty fun. On the boat, we saw atleast 15 whales surface! We even saw some whales that were less than 100 feet away and feeding right behind the boat! The lunch was delicious on board.
When we experienced some boat chores like sweeping the floor, washing the floor, and piloting the Lady Maryland, we arrived at our destination for the night, Provincetown. We listened to an interesting speech about how some companies were working to free marine mammals (specifically whales) that were getting in fishing lines.
Afterwards, we were allowed to wander around in town. We encountered one store that had an randon selection eclectic marine necessities.Tonight, we experienced our first time sleeping on deck and also our first time waking up at night for the boat watch. Today we learned and saw many things which got us all really excited for the next day.
