Position: 39deg 29.74’N x 075deg 33.1’W
Log (nm): 887.5 nm
Weather / Wind and Sail Plan: We are currently anchored but spent the day motoring.
Description of where we are sailing: We are in the Delaware bay heading
towards the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and Baltimore

Today I was on watch from 0700 to 1300! We entered the Delaware Bay this
morning and have been motoring towards a location where we’ll anchor
tonight. Being on lookout was very intense because there was a lot of
sailing vessels and cargo ships. I am excited to arrive in Baltimore because
we are visiting fun historical places, getting access to our phones, and
exploring the different parts of Baltimore! A lot of card games have been
unraveling in the main salon, which get very eventful. We have all been hard
at work with our oceanography projects. There have been many scientific
deployments followed by lots of work on our slideshows/posters. This week
has been beautiful with blue skies and fair waves, besides the gale warning
we had which turned out to be fun (I thought). We have gotten to see some
pretty amazing things like dolphins, whales, bioluminescence, a full moon
(tonight) and lots of pretty sun rises/sun sets! The stew, stew made some
yummy apple caramel pie this evening. Tonight we will be anchored right
outside Baltimore till the morning when we will get onto land. B watch (my
watch) has dawn watch tonight but because we are anchored it means that we
will only have 2 hour standing shifts instead of 6 hours. You will be happy
to know that everyone is doing well and hopefully enjoying themselves.
