Oh the joys of boats and rain.

So, we went on a field trip. On a boat. I know what you're going to say next. It's, "I'M ON A BOAT!", isn't it? well, we already beat you to it. We even got to stand on the front of the boat and look at the big, blue watery road.

This was a very exciting day in the life of me. And in the life of everyone else who wanted to go out on the boat. BUT, the weather that had been so beautiful for so long decided not to cooperate, and it rained. A lot. And, on top of that, Dr. B brought his family of about 1409583753 million people. So it was crowded.

Now, I presume, you want to know what the purpose of our trip was. Well, we got lots and lots of plankton to examine under the microscopes back in the lab. (Which, by the way, we later had to DRAW. And I am not a very good artist...). And we also used the otter trawl, which dragged along the bottom and collected a bunch of stuff, like sea stars, fish, and crabs.


You can't read it, but this bag says, "RESCUE MATE THROW BAG". So don't worry. If you fall in, I'll throw you that bag right there.
