Big booty mix. That is the music we woke up to this morning. As the DJ mix was playing, we ate an assortment of cereals and fruit. Afterward, we cleaned up the boat and prepared for a busy rotation day. First, we learned new knots and raced in teams to see who could tie the knots the fastest. We even tested our knots by tying them to ourselves and holding each other over the water. Later, we attempted watersports. Ellory knee-boarded and flew 10 feet in the sky, still landing with a smile. Sloane also knee-boarded and unintentionally flipped. Then, we went paddle boarding, where Eli and Finn made it their mission to flip everybody else (and were successful). Amy and I attempted to flip Vaughn, Magnus, and Cameron but were only successful with Vaughn.

After, we ate scrumptious mac and cheese. Once our tummies were full of sharp cheddar cheese and delectable noodles, we started learning about Recreational Dive Planners. We discovered and explored the ins and outs of depth, pressure groups, and their relationship to how much time to spend diving or at the surface. Our minds were also expanded by the vast world of repetitive dives and how to measure nitrogen in your body after multiple dives. Then, we sailed over to Leverick Bay. At Leverick Bay, we bought our favorite foods. Cameron even bought 23 dollars worth of M&M’s. When we returned, we all were finally reconnected with our phones. Afterward, we all got ready and headed to the first barbecue. The DJ at the BBQ was jamming music and loved his gunshot and firework sound effects. Jada, Amy, Emily, Ellory, Sloan, Breakyn, and I all danced together. Eli even break-danced! We also devoured virgin piña coladas at the bar. Emily demanded the DJ play Mr. Brightside, but they never played it… We returned at 10 pm, and everyone was tuckered out. So, unfortunately, I finished this blog a day late…
