Location: Great Harbor, Peter Island
Hey everyone, I’m Hanna from Minnesota. I wrote the trip’s first blog, and now I’m back! Today we woke up to music blasting from the speakers (nothing new). Breakfast today was pancakes which is definitely a boat favorite. This morning we all hugged Yony goodbye and then had some hang-out time out on the boat. We then sailed over to Salt Island for the day. Once we got there, we had our written sailing. Everybody passed with flying colors. Dylan took the advanced sailing exam and passed as well! We had some time to swim and jump off the boat. The water at Salt Island was by far the most clear, beautiful water we have seen yet. We took the dinghy to a nearby beach and then went hiking with Friendship. It was a beautiful hike, and the view at the top of the cliff was gorgeous. You could see all of the boats below and neighboring islands! On the way back down, Jack, Amelia, Rangeley, and I found palm trees with a bunch of coconuts. Jack was able to get one down before it was time to head back. For lunch, chicken salad sandwiches. After lunch, Jack was determined took get more coconuts down from the trees. Sylvia took Jack and me back onto shore while everyone else finished up lunch. We ended up getting our hands on three more coconuts and brought them back for everyone to try. Peeling coconuts by hand was quite the process. Finally, it was time for the Rhone dive (a famous shipwreck)!
We all hopped onto a dinghy and headed over to Nomada for our dive. Aria, Amelia, Taylor, Jack, Brie, and I dove down to 60ft. We got to look at the last remaining window on the wreck, and we all rubbed a lucky spoon. We swam through one of the propellers and saw a ton of fish. Dylan, Avery, Rangeley, and Belle relaxed and read in the sun back up on the surface. Everyone loved the dive, and I know I speak for all of us when I say it was a highlight of the trip. We finished our day with a sail to tonight’s location, some swim time, and breakfast for dinner. Today was a long day, but nonetheless amazing! Miss you, Mom, Dad, Libby, Minnie, and Franklin!
