Hey Blog! Welcome back to another post. We started off the day with a 7 am wake up followed by project work. As we finish up our projects, I can’t help but feel like it’s the end of a journey. We’ve all learned so much in this camp and have made so many good friends along the way. As Philip likes to say, “Perhaps the real journey is the friends we made along the way”. Anyways, after a period of work time we decided to go out on this fine afternoon for lunch to enjoy our last few days as a group. Soon after we ate lunch it was time to head to the Friday Harbor Labs to go dock jumping. A couple of jumps and dives later we were all tired and ready to head back. As we were walking back to the van we decided to head to the stock room on last time to buy some apparel. When we got back, we had a chill and relaxed couple of hours before we headed out to south beach for dessert. Instead of the dessert, people were more interested in exploring and watching the sunset go down. Collectively, lots of us thought that this was the best part of the program due to it being one of the last times we would all be together.

After the sunset we all decided it was time to head back to go night lighting at the FHL docks. We saw a lot of jellyfish, polychaetes, and other fish swimming around in the night. Something else that a lot of people got to see was the bioluminescence in the water due to the plankton.

Finally it was time go back to the dorms and head to bed for a late wake up.

Signing off for now! the Salish Sailors
