Firnthe first part of our trip we went to the beach and took some great pictures with us and the view. Then we went to york to see the Nubble lighthouse but unfortunately it was too foggy so we were not able to see it. But we did see a group of Amish people and it was interesting because they spoke a language that sounded a little bit like German.
Next we arrived in Portsmouth where we saw a lot of boats and a beautiful ocean. There we're about four sailors and one captain that was driving with us on the boat. When the sailors started the boat they had a special way to communicate (so that they know if the ropes are untied for instance) so we had to be quiet at first but then when they finished everything the real fun was waiting for us.
There we're 3 sailors who all showed us different things you need to know when you are driving or working on a boat.
One sailor analyzed the water with us. We measured the temperature and how much oxygen there is in the water. Another sailor showed us how they orient themselves on the water. They have a special map that shows them how deep the water is on specific spots. They also have one big compass on the steering wheel. We we're even allowed to turn the steering wheel!! It was so cool but it gets exhausting after a while.
And then we had to catch plankton. We had a special net where only water can pass through. We did catch some but they are so small you have to look closely to be able to see them moving. They also showed us a lobster that they have caught and some of us held it in their hand even tough it was really huge. We we're really relieved when they told us that they will release the lobster and not keep it locked somewhere in a cage...
At the end of our exciting trip we were able to walk around in the City of Portsmouth. They have a lot of seafood restaurants and so many souvenir shops.
