7/8/09
We woke up at 6:30 a.m. We ate a quick breakfast and then met our boat crew. Then we boarded the Lady Maryland, our new home for the next 9 days. We were assigned our bunks almost as soon as we stepped on the boat, and, after putting our bags on board, we headed over to a nearby dock. We went to Captain Bill's Whale Tours. They took us to Stellwagen Bank where we saw a lot of humpback whales. Some of their names were Fulerum, who had an injured dorsal fin, Pinpoint, and Cajun. We also saw a basking shark. On the way back, almost everyone fell asleep. We ate cuttlefish noodles when we got back to the Lady Maryland. We sailed to another dock to get fuel and then sailed a little before anchoring for the night. That night we had a one hour night watch with one other CTY kid and a crew member. During this time, we had to make sure the boat did not move around too much and check to make sure everything was working.
