First off we woke up at 7 in the morning and then we prepared the breakfast, we ate and we went right into cleaning the boat. Port watch was in charge of cleaning the cabins and the dishes from breakfast. Starboard watch was doing their job of cleaning the deck, and port watch took a bit of class. While we were in class we were interrupted by whales! We saw 3 pods or groups of whales including a ton of different humpbacks. There were a bunch of tourist boats who came and watched the whales with us, but we had a front row seat. The whales were spouting, fluking and slapping their fins while eatting. It was really exciting. After an hour watching the whales we went back to work, still having whales spouting around us. The watches took turns being on duty and taking plankton smaples and looking at them in the microscope. Captain Sinker caught a Blue Fish and the cook, Gerry, made it for lunch. It was delicious! We are on course for Provincetown and the Cape looks beautiful on sch a sunny day.
