Yesterday was the first day we got to go on a whale watch. We were lucky enough to see not one, but 2 species of whales! The first whale we saw was Spoon, the humpback whale (identified by the fluke). We saw her a lot and got to see her tail 3 times as she dove. The next type of whale we saw was a finback whale and we got to see both the light and dark side of one of the whales. When we got back to Lady Maryland, we had a competition between Port and Starboard watch called the Schooner Olympics. In the end, both sides were rewarded with a root beer float to show how we worked together. Happy Fourth of July!
Day 8 - Kiara's Blog Entry
Hoy fuimos a ver bellenas. Después de esperar un siglo, pudimos ver una ballena jorobada. Cuando la vimos todos gritamos de la emoción. También vimos una Finback whale ( vimos su cara) bien cerca so Sofia gritó "oh my god que Linda eres" y todas nos empezamos a reír. Fue un día divertido e interesante, ojalá vuelva a pasar.
Day 8 - Sofia's Blog Entry
Hoy es un día muy particular, ya que es el último día que pasaremos abordo de Lady Maryland. Esta ha sido una experiencia increible e imposible de olvidar. Es muy gracioso el hecho de que el primer día, aunque estaba emocionada, realmente extraña mi casa y quería volver, cuanto antes posible mejor. Ahora me quiero quedar un poco más. ¿Quién necesita bañarse, usar un baño de verdad o usar un teléfono cuanto estás pasandola bien con grandiosas personas? Lady Maryland además de ser hermosa tiene "crew" maravilloso que te hace sentir como en casa.
David's Summary of the Trip
This trip was a was a very long and very exciting adventure. The students and the crew shared many fun and memorable experiences. Cold Spring Harbor was a memorable port because we got to walk to a museum and Greenport was also fun because we had ice cream. When we made it to Plymouth, we finally got to see whales, one of the many things we were looking forward to on this trip. Though I'm excited to go on land, I'm going to miss the boat, the crew and the experience.

Day 9 - Student Peesentations and Cleaning the Boat,
On our last morning on the boat, the students gave a presentation on their magazine and their articles for the entire crew. They all did a fantastic job, with some really amazing research and great insights. When the presentations were over, we gave the Lady Maryland one last major cleaning before it was time to leave. We had such a wonderful time with the crew, learning about sailing, estuaries, whales, and so much more over the last 9 days. We will certainly miss them!

Goodbye and thank you, Lady Maryland crew!!!
