CTY Whales Trip Day 7

7/3/2010
Day 7

Today we left the New Bedford Harbor after we ate a breakfast of grits and sausage. The we sailed through the Cape Cod Canal. We had a lunch of chicken tacos while we were sailing. When we got to Cape Cod, we anchored in Provincetown. After that, we did an experiment showing different feeding types of whales. We filled a tub with tarragon, packing peanuts, and water. Then we used plastic bags as stomachs, and various other tools as "teeth."
After that, we were able to go swimming. We swam right next to the boat, getting in and out by a ladder. We washed ourselves with Dawn dishsoap and jumped in. When we finished swimming, we had eggplant lasagna for dinner. After we finished our evening chores, we did hygiene bowls and went to sleep. Throughout the night, we did nightwatches, making sure the boat wasn't drifting very much. Once we were done our shifts, we got back to go back to bed until the next day.
