We are docked at Blake Island. It is very low tide, no wind and warm. It is also very peaceful and quiet.

Very warm and sunny. There was no wind or rain. It was a beautiful day.

Today we learned how to set up the main and mizzen sails. We climbed up the mast to hook a latch onto the halyard. Science deployed north of Blake Island using the zooplankton net, niskin bottle.
