Today was our first full day of project week, during which we sailed to
an island to snorkel above a shipwrecked boat, learned how to raise the
sail on our vessel, and developed our anchoring skills using cleat
knots. Because this was our first real day at sea, we practiced safety
skills such as man-overboard drills and pointing directions for a
navigating captain. During our five hours of sailing today, we caught a
mystery fish that took almost an hour to reel in. We also raised and
trimmed the sail while taking turns as first mate. There were also
sightings of dolphins and whales while we sailed to our final
destination of St. Croix.
