Today, everyone woke up to the loud sound of music at 6:45! We started off having cereal for breakfast, which our chefs, Liam and Tomas, put out for us. We started off with a dive chat about Coral reef conservation with Tony, and then we all jumped on the paddle boards and did flips off the dinghies. Delfina, Antonio, Daisy, and I learned to do backflips off of the dinghies. After that, we all took a dingy to go Snorkeling! Once we got there, Tony taught us how to dive with our snorkeling masks, and we all did it very well. We went to the mangroves, and it was so beautiful and big, and we saw tons of moon Jellyfish.
I know Daisy got stung a couple of times but she says it doesn’t hurt too bad. Once we got back to the dinghy, we raced one of the others back to our main boat, and it was so fun! Then we went on the zests, and the groups were Daisy, Violet, and I, then Lawson and Haze, then Delfina and Alex, then Antonio and Tomas, and finally Reed, Liam, and Graham. My boat capsized three times, and we had to get Mel to help us. Delfina and Alex capsized ten times, which probably set a record. When we came back, we had a make-your-own Ramen station, which ended up being pretty good. After lunch, we went knot racing, and team King Za won! We have learned how to do 7 knots to help tie the boats. After that, we tanned, read, napped, etc., for the rest of the afternoon until we showered and got ready for the Barbecue. We took a dingy to land, where we all got more snacks for the boat. Then we went back to the boat and chilled for a little before going back to land for the BBQ!! We all got hot dogs and burgers and danced on the dance floor. Although the DJ was bad, we still had a lot of fun! Then we all came back and talked for a bit before falling asleep.
