Today started early in the morning with watch team 2 on the 12:00 to 4:00 shift. Mimi, Dylan, and Payton put potatoes into Avery’s bed to wake her up. Alex had his first time helming on shift while everyone else enjoyed the calm morning. The 4 am to 8 am shift got a little wet, but they played many fun games. Watch team 1 got really good speed while motoring because they were trying to escape a squall. Next was lunch, where we had a roast, which was cooked by Lizzy, Brig, and Captain Nick. This afternoon, we had class where Avery, Mina, and Emily presented their leadership project. They had us do a challenge where we had to build the highest tower with objects around us, with only the leader of the group being able to talk. Then we did another round where everyone could collaborate and work as a team. After leadership, we had seamanship class with Shane, where we learned how to measure distances and find ETA.
Immediately after seamanship class, watch team 3 took the wheel; however, the storm continued. Macie, Mina, Alexis, Lanie, Henry, and Maya danced in the rain while Andrew helmed. Greyson and Brady were on bow watch, enjoying the rain with their off-watch friends Jack, Sadie, and Lana. Though the team had a wet watch, it ended in a beautiful sunset where Ella and LouLou did a photo shoot while Rook read her book. After dinner, Logan, Hays, Alex, along with some others, tackled the dishie pit. The night finished off inside to avoid the drizzle. Skipper Dylan was supposed to write this blog; however, after some technical difficulties, he gave up and had Macie and Lanie write it in exchange for some Dr. Pepper.
