Session 3 of Whale Boats has finished their first 24 hours at sea! All ten sea cadets have been working hard on ship learning how to coil, navigate, tie knots and get this vessel in "ship shape." Today after breakfast the crew let out the troll net to find the critters of the deep. Below are the students with fish, crabs, crustaceans, and sea sponges. They learned how to identify different species using field books. Right now we are currently anchored Cuttyhunk harbor off of Massachusetts.
While some experienced the woes of sea sickness, most were okay by around 3pm and were excited to have a delicious fruit smoothie provided by the awesome chef before plunging into the sea for a little splash and suds. Right now, the cadets are making flags which will hang during their anchor watches to represent the uniqueness of team port and starboard! Here are some cool picks of higher day:
