We are headed into our last week here! Craziness, our time on shore flew by and I am sure that our time on the boat will go even quicker. Though our group has had its up and downs, we have bonded more than I could ever imagine. We rely on each other and work together so well together. This coming week we have our research proposals due, an oceanography test and a paper due (plus a take home test for nautical science). It is going to be busy, but it's also very exciting because it means we will be out sailing very soon!! We took a walk to the beach yesterday and found some pretty cool shells and a jelly fish! It was a beautiful purple color. The first two pictures are of notebooks that we made out of recycled charts used for piloting. The last photo is what we like to call our "cuddle coral". xoxo, miss you all
