Today we were out at sea on our way to Woods Hole. Port and Starboard watches took over and we set the sails and caught a breeze. We even pumped out the bilges on our way! In class we learned about sea squirts (tunicates) we found on the docks and saw both of their siphons. We talked about estuaries and watched how fresh and saltwater mix. Tonight, we are learning from Helen how to tie different knots and doing anchor watches as we wait offshore for another day.
