On the morning of the second day, we woke up at the Anacortes Port at around 5:15 AM. A small craft advisory (a warning that did not allow the longboat to travel in the Salish Sea) was put in place the night before and so in order to avoid it, we left early.<\/p>\n

At 5:15 AM, the weather began\u00a0somewhat bright and lightly sprinkling, but as the day progressed the weather became completely overcast and a little bit windy.
\nFor breakfast, we had oatmeal and tea\/hot chocolate. After the first meal of the day, we finished packing (with great help from the Bosuns) and set off for our first official journey on the longboat. This four hour long journey included some practice drills such as the ‘Man Overboard’ and the ‘Squall’ as well as some shanty songs.<\/p>\n

Our first stop of the trip was Saddlebag Island. We set anchor in a bay at the beach where we were going to land and had lunch on the boat.<\/p>\n

After lunch, Michael set the anchor and created a clothesline system to allow us to land. Then we all worked together to fire line all of our stuff off of the boat.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, we had an hour of free time to explore the beach and relax.<\/p>\n

Then, the chefs prepared dinner while Michael met with the navigators and leaders to discuss the plan for the day after.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Following dinner, we had our closing meeting. That night, 5 people went into the tents on land while the remaining 5\u00a0slept on the boat.<\/p>\n
