Today has been another crazy and new adventure! Our students experienced a small taste of
night watch, as they each stood one hour on anchor watch at some time
throughout the night with one of our crew members. The water was rather rough today, but the
students were troopers, and kept on with their watches and their learning
despite the rocking boat. As a treat, we
saw dolphins as we pulled into anchor this evening, which reduced one of our
students to excited squealing. Another of the
students smiled wide and said, “Deathly screams equals dolphins.”
It has been a very adventurous day, and it is so encouraging
to see these students working diligently to be a part of the crew. It is also amazing to see the way they are
bonding together, and forming a crew of their own.
One of these student/crew members wrote their own little blog
for today, to give you all a view of the day from their perspective.
“Day of a CTY Shipmate – We woke up at 6:30 am! A little too early for our teen minds. Had a delicious breakfast of bacon, eggs,
potatoes, and yogurt courtesy of Michael (the cook, not the captain). Eight am to noon was port watch which
consisted of boat check, keeping watch, and learning estuaries and their
elements. Lunch was 11:30 am to noon. Two people got a touch of motion sickness! We sailed through the Delaware
Bay all day, rocking the boat!”
We are looking forward to another great day tomorrow!! Who know what adventure we will have!
