Waz up
USA? Today tha Ghetto Verde was hoppin fo sho. This be S. Fowla in da crib.  Tha crew said my grill was shining extra bright dis mornin. We woked up at Mickey K’s. We was fini go get T.S. when tha electrizil went to s*^@! We ate some grub and bounced to tha straits. There was so many vanilla faces I couldn’t tell em apart. I saw a sea lion and I was skerred it was fini come up on tha boat. I said, “Hellllllllz no†and we bounced. It was peanut butta jelly time, so we’z ate. When they was cranking tha sail, Liz, Elise and Heatha almost popped, locked, and dropped it out tha boat. When tha waves was whackd, I told em, lean wid it, walk wid it; go wid da flow. We’z ate Mexican and cornbread fo dinna. Don’t playa hate. Peace.

Translation—We woke up again at
Mackaye
Harbor, had a quick breakfast, and completed morning chores before heading to Fourth of July Beach to pick up
Tracy. We headed out of the straits to attempt some sailing, but the winds and the weakness of the torn (now mended) sail deterred us—although Liz, Elise and Heather gave it a valiant effort. A number of female Steller sea lions followed in our wake. As Jason picked up a back-up generator for the week, Shannon and Sam prepared soup and sandwiches for lunch. After lunch, the students went through their sailing practical—tacking back and forth and taking turns at the helm up and down the San Juan Channel. At about 4 pm, we pulled into
Fisherman
Bay for shore power, showers, and water. Unfortunately, the pump out was broken, so we had to hold it. We spent the evening doing data analysis and working on sustainability reports. Elise and Liz prepared Mexican for dinner and afterwards, we settled back down to our computers.
