Day 3, P-town!

Today we went to Provincetown, MA. First, we docked the boat and walked through town to the Pilgrim’s Monument, which is the real first place that the English pilgrims landed. Then, we returned to the Lady Maryland to a pleasant surprise for lunch, pizza! After that, we left for the Whydah Pirate Museum and learned about Captain Samuel Bellamy and the wreck and treasure of the Whydah. Later we got ice cream on Main Street. We then returned to the ship and learned we would be whale watching aboard the Portuguese Pincess II. While aboard, we saw about 7 humpback whales swimming in line, skimming for food! We played an intense game of Egyptian Rat Slap on the way back to port. Back on our ship, we learned about estuaries and how they connect to whales with Leanna and listened to a ghost story with Chloe. Now, at 9:40, we are about to sleep on deck for the first time!
