The morning met us with a soft dew, cramped legs and the gentle din of a rumbling engine. Living on a boat necessitates us to keep odd hours, but with perservance and resilience we push through each night watch. By midday we found ourselves ashore on the former Naval ammunitions base, Prudence Island, scouring the seascape for aquatic stuff. An impressive number of invasive species blanket the landscape-please call your senators. We also found giant horseshoe crabs, sea robins, naked gobys and oodles of soft shell crabs. A good time was had by all before we made our way back to the Lady Maryland via dingy. Anchors up, we set sail with hope in hearts and wind in our sails. We now find ourselves en route to Massachussetts via Buzzards Bay, with a soft sunset scattering iridescent beams of light all around us. It's nothing short of breath taking, if not a little over-whaleming.
A scallop! The blue dots are its eyes

A sand lance-aka a whale's favorite snack.
Lastly, a Jonah crab in the hand of a student.

Overwhaleming, indeed! Thanks for the update.
Thanks for the update. Sounds great. Wish to post more pic for boys and girls....
I agree with Zhi Li. Parents want proof of life. Bon voyage.
