And no, it wasn't the senior-citizen-bingo-night, cocktails-on-the-lido-deck, love-boat kind of cruise. It was the get-up-at-6:30am, collect-benthic-samples, stick-your-hand-in-mud kind of cruise. But actually, it was fun. The captain was really cool and he taught us these sailor navigation terms. So next time I meet Captain Jack Sparrow, I'll tell him to meet me aft.
We even cast out a net to catch, count, and measure fish. We caught about 240 fish, most of them small, striped bass. After we measured them, we threw them back.
We also got to figure out navigation through sextants, and test the water's oxygen concentration, temperature, and salinity. Plus, our teacher bought us chocolate chip bagels from Noah's.
Today was a lot more fun that I thought it'd be. Maybe, someday I'll get a boat of my own. All I know is that it will have a fully stocked mini fridge.
