Position:  37° 02.6’N x 076° 08.4’W
Log (nm): 146 NM (since Baltimore)
Weather: Today was another beautiful day on the Chesapeake bay, this morning we
started our last stretch of 80 nautical miles to the open ocean. We dropped
the anchor at the end of the Bay in preparation to hit open ocean in the
morning.
Location: Chesapeake Bay

This morning C-watch was on dawn watch, and at 0700 we started hauling back
the anchor to start making way. Once we were off and going the watch was
turned over to A-watch. We had some fantastic green eggs and ham for
breakfast thanks to Quinn. During the time A-watch was the on watch they
completed many deployments including the shipek grab, secchi disc, CTD, and
a Neuston tow. Some of the highlights from our deployments today were a pipe
fish in the Neuston tow, Rachel was our secchi bet winner of the day, and in
our shipek grab there were many worms that were forming worm tubes. A-watch
also skied the raffee sheet, this was the second day in a row that we have
messed with the raffee. The watch was turned over at 1300 to B-watch.
During that time we had class. Today we had our usual weather, nav, and
science reports, along with some project work time. B-watch brought us to
our anchorage for the night in Cape Charles alongside many cargo ships, and
Quinn chefed it up once again with some hot dogs and chili for dinner.
C-watch is back at it for our evening anchor watch to call it a day.
