Today was full of real sailing. We sailed off the anchor, no help from the motors, and back on the anchor. There were a couple of moments of dead wind where we had to turn the motors on but majority of the day we traveled on the power of the wind. During our voyage the students reviewed the compass rose and parts of the boat. They also learned about plankton by viewing the local plankton under a microscope and dissected oysters.
The students were enthusiastic about pizza for dinner. After dinner they pushed into the final stages of their projects. Project time was temporarily disrupted to watch a Catboat race going on feet from where we anchored. Tonight is another clear starry sky.
