Hey blog, welcome back to another post. Starting off today we had SoundWatch come in and talk about their goal of the program. The goal that they have in mind is to protect and conserve the marine mammal population around the Salish Sea. After some project work time we all headed to the Friday Harbor Labs to watch and perform a urchin dissection. After Rachel, a undergrad working at the FHL gave us a quick demonstration we started the dissection process.

Following a messy and long process we collected the lantern (mouth) and the spines for further research. Next we headed back to the dorms for lots of free time. With Christmas coming early everyone did their secret Santa shopping through out the town of Friday Harbor. Later in the evening the whole group collectively decided that we wanted to spend the rest of the night bowling.With Leo coming in first overall and Tommy’s crazy trick shot we all had a delightful bowling experience. With the bowling alley so close to us, we all walked back to the dorms to indulge in ice cream and some TV. That’s all for now! Till next time. Signing off for now Salish Sailors.
