And off we go to Salem ! It's so amazing the feel of sailing. To know that you're not causing any type of polution in the sea , no type of gas emissions and the fun of using the sails to guide your way through the sea. Feels awesome! Our morning was jam packed of action. We woke up , had breakfast, washed the dishes and started our sailor routine. We raise the heavy anchor , pulled as a team the heavy sails up and started to learn navigation techniques. We even got the chance to steer the boat !! While a group was working with the sailing part , the other part was learning of and hunting plankton . The educators showed us the importance of plankton in the food chain and that those little crablike planktons were called "Porcelain Crabs". The crew helped us learn how to grab your excess rope and turn it in to a "Coil". This helps organize the rope and prevent it from tangling. Our day become night and we prepared to eat and drop off the anchor. We anchored on the end of the Cape Cod Canal. It's so sad that we are so close to our destination. Tomorrow we hope the sea,sun and wind is on our favor.
