Hello dear people that want to read this today we spent a lot of time just learning the basics. After that we had lunch which was wraps. Then we learned how to tie some ropes. Then we practice drills just in case. after they let us swim in the ocean aka (the pool) and I personally took a shower in the ocean. Then we had din din which was mac,n,cheese.

Today we left Boston Harbor while boating because the wind was against us. We took a swim test today to determine if we could swim for the rest of the week. Dinner was quite good and so was lunch. We've stopped for the night in eye distance of Boston.

This morning we started the day by learning about the ship and how to tie different knots. For lunch we ate some wraps with tuna salad. Later in the day we took a swim test to see if we were allowed to swim for the rest of the week. After the test we had dinner which was mac and cheese with some green beans.

Today was really fun when we got here we learned the rules and got in our groups then later we had a tour of the boat and then we went over safety instructions then we went swimming which was really fun.

-Bella

Today was really fun. We started out with a bus ride to Boston. When we arrived we met a bunch of instructors who told us about what we were going to do. We ate a good lunch before leaving the harbor. We did emergency drills, and motored until we came to a cove on an island and went swimming. Then we ate dinner.
