Hello from Long Island Sound!!
We are on our way to anchor for the night, and we have had a fun filled day near NYC.
Yesterday we braved the Atlantic Ocean for 24 hours, and we made it up the New Jersey coast. Throughout the day we learned about whales, plankton, how to run the boat, and much more!
As a group we are bonding and getting to know one another. Lots of laughs and inside jokes fill the day!
The first two nights we sailed through the night, but tonight we are all looking forward to anchor for the night.
Today we started our day docking and playing four square on land while the crew filled the ships gas and water. Later we fished a little outside of NYC, and we caught a hogchoker and many invertebrates. After that we went around the Statue of Liberty and sailed up the East River to head into the Long Island Sound. We again fit some learning into our fun, and we learned about whale ecology and behaviors, buoyancy, squid, and even more about the boat and how it runs.
We are excited to see more marine life and explore more areas.
Post again soon!
The whole Lady Maryland Crew (we are all crew now :) )

Great to learn you all are having fun! Just curious - why does Lady Maryland need gas? I thought it's run the old-fashion way - with wind? Oh, and - do you fish out of the ocean for dinner? Would love to see a few pictures. Good luck finding whales in the coming days!
Lady Maryland does sail the majority of the time, but she has engines as backup and sometimes it's even more efficient to "motor-sail". Dinner comes from the cook Michael, not the ocean -the fishing we do is for educational purposes only. Haven't had enough reception to post photos, it was hard enough to post text! Hopefully in the next few days the crew will have a bit more reception and can get some pictures up.

Thank you so much for posting about your adventures! I love hearing what my daughter is doing, learning and seeing. I hope reception improves and we can see more photos! Have fun!
As long as everyone is having fun, and learning, and in good spirits, it's all good! Thanks for the updates!
