The new sea team (Liz, Elise, Kenna, Heather, and Wes) woke up to a cloudy day in Roche Harbor. After breakfast, we topped up the water tank and motored out of the harbor, while we discussed plans for the day. Unfortunately, there were no whales and no wind. So the students discussed how to optimize data collection as a team and organized who would be collecting what during whale observations. Then the students worked on their final proposals, while Jason and Shannon graded and returned previous assignments. After a delicious lunch prepared by Wes and Jason, the wind picked up enough for Mike to go through the points of sail. After practicing tacking and chicken jibing with the main sail and screecher, the students settled back down to their computers. We arrived into Mackaye Harbor at Lopez Island as the sun was setting and Heather was starting to prepare quesadillas for dinner. After dinner, the students finished up their work and we watched Life Aquatic.
