CTY Whales Trip 2 | Session 2 | Days 6-7

We had a great time in Woods Hole! Our first view was of the docks at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI). We toured the facilities and got a good look at the work on boats, submersibles, and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) at the docks. In town, Port and Starboard watch competed for glory in a scavenger hunt. Turns out we're all evenly matched. After our delicious dinner, the Captain bought us all ice cream and then we got to use our cell phones! It may have been one of the most exciting nights yet.

This morning, Sarah took us to the beach to use a Seine net. We caught a bunch of fish, including a pipefish and a few small puffers! When we returned to Lady Maryland, it was time to head off towards Bristol again. On the way, we had a Man Overboard drill (we saved the life ring) and set the sails! It was tough work but we'll have the muscles to show for it when we get back.
