Whales, Whales Whales! Day 2 Trip 2

Yesterday wewoke up and got ready in Provincetown while we were docked. We enjoyed an awesome breakfast of cornbread, yogurt and fruit. Then at 9 we took a long walk to see the Pilgram's monument. The tower seemed to sway in the wind, it was so tall! As we climbed the 116 steps and 60 ramps we said it was hard work but the view at the top was spectacular, and totally worth it. We had lunch and went to see a whale entanglement presentation. Then we walked around town, enjoying the local ice cream, fudge or taffy- delicious! Then we saw humpback whales on the Dolphin VII with a formal naturalist pointing all the whales out. We saw calves breathing, breathing again, and then breaching! We saw so many whales and the whole class was so excited to see them in a different setting. We could even see the glow of the white flippers against the green water- how massive! We returned to the boat where we departed for Greenport, NY. We are sailing through the night and will be helping the crew with watches the whole time.
