Amelia:
Today has been very fun, and I honestly really miss everyone at home and more. We went to The Isle of Shoals and we got to go for a swim and went through a trail, where I found a cool bunch of bones and will be taking them home! We got to climb aloft, which I finally did this year since I skipped going aloft last year. IT WAS REALLY SCARY AND WINDY. I enjoyed the trip so far, making new friends, learning knots and doing other cool sailing stuff. We are currently at Rockport, MA and will eventually make our way to Provincetown, MA. Although I enjoy this trip very much, I MISS YOU GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Margaree:
We ended last night by watching the movie Treasure Planet. We had a lot of fun commenting about the characters. This morning we got up and had a good breakfast of oat squares and fruit salad which was really good. After we finished up our morning chores we got to take a trip to Smuttynose Island. We all had fun exploring the island though there were lots of thorny bushes. Once we got back we had lunch and made our way to Rockport, MA. On the way we had free time, active watch, and lessons. I’d say that today's lesson is the most exciting we’ve had. We got to climb aloft! It was extremely scary and at first I did not want to do it, AT ALL. But I did and it wasn’t so bad. Now we’ve anchored in Rockport and are ready to do some fishing!
Malachi:
After we anchored at the Isles of Shoals we had a swim call. During this time I went fishing we caught 15 Atlantic mackerel, it got a little messy when we cleaned the fish on the four deck. Later on we had a movie night and watched Treasure Island on a projector. We went to bed a little earlier than usual (21:30 instead of 22:00). Later on during anchor we ate cookies and they were very good. When I went back to sleep it felt like a flash. The next morning we went to the island and walked around for a while and swam on the beach for 2 hours. When we got back on the ship we ate lunch and set sail to the Rockport and had dinner.
Alex:
When we woke up we had breakfast which was oat bars with fruit. Then everybody got in their swimming outfits and got their sun screen, towel, and everything else they needed. So we all got in a little gray boat and went to shore. After we were done swimming, we all got back in the boat and went back to the boat. We had lunch after which was enchiladas which were very good. After we had lunch we took up the sails and took sail to rock port. when we got to rock port we started chores which is what im doing right now.
