By Indeya and Jake —

We woke up at 6:00 AM for our first dip dip dippity dip.

But that wasn’t until 7:00 AM because it took us a long time to pack up our sleeping stuff and get ready. Quinn accidently dropped his shirt in the water, which was honestly pretty predictable. In a thrilling culinary turn of events, Peder sent a bunch of potatoes out to sea. The recovery of said potatoes, as well as Peder’s attitude on the matter, was thoroughly documented on the camera by Jack.

At 11:05 AM we saw two juvenile harbor seals while exiting the bay, and at 12:55 PM we watched a lot of rhinoceros auklets fishing in the riptide around Clark Point. At 2:00 PM we were a mile from Pelican Beach on Cyprus Island.

We were under sail, so we had time to chat about a variety of subjects. We have come to the conclusion that school doesn’t teach anything right. The conversation got a little heated, so we had to take a moment to silently observe our surroundings.

We sailed for a bit longer and then began rowing as we neared the island. We latched onto a mooring ball, and set up a clothesline for the evening so the boat could move in and away from the shore.

However, the wind and currents came up, so we quickly boarded and rowed around the bend to more stable conditions.

Jack is currently in the lead in the eating contest between him and Indeya. Tonight we ate mac ‘n cheese with a choice of tuna and/or carrots and/or cucumbers. For dessert, we played a newly introduced game called dip ‘n go, in which we have to sing a designated song while continually passing bowls of apples, graham crackers, and chocolate. We won the game! Whoop whoop! We plan to wake up at 6:00 AM tomorrow, which is just another morning in this long line of early suffering.
