Day 5
This morning, we started with the opportunity to wake up at 6:30 a.m. and go swimming. Most people did. Thornton made everyone pancakes for pancakes and then we began our watches. We made our way to New York City, and at lunch as we passed through Manhatten. We saw the Christer building and then Empire State building, and shortly after, the Statue of Liberty. We sailed to New Jersey, and while passing a beach, Jimbo's dad kayaked over and came on board briefly.
Afterwards, we went abck to class and watch, and those in class cast a net to collect plankton. We caught a small fish, a tiny crab, and a bunch of microorganisms. We had dinner, washed the souls and bowls, and went back to sailing. We turned the motor off and went by wind. We watched the sun set during our muster (a meeting we have every night), and hung out and played cards below deck. When we got ready for bed, we were timed and we changed in under six minutes so we can sleep in for an extra 15 minutes tomorrow.
