British Virgin Islands - 2014, Session 1

Day 19

Location: The Bight, Norman Island

Today was a great action-packed day! For breakfast, we had the usual: cereal. After a bit of sailing, we ended up at the wreck of the Rhone for our first dive as certified scuba divers. We got to see the wreck of a ship from 1886. There was so much sea life to see; it was also cool to go through the boat in a tunnel. We motored over to Salt Island. On the way, a group of people and I went to the front of the boat during the bumpy waves- in the words of Pablo, #Rollercoaster. We ate lunch and got ready for the hike. On the hike, we saw the natural salt ponds. We climbed many hills and saw beautiful views. This, by far, was my favorite hike. After the hike, we went and saw the memorial of Dead Mans bay of the pirates who tried to escape Black Beards Bay. Around the memorial were gorgeous shells and coral, a great way to remember them. After the hike, we hurried to the boat to take showers and head off to the Bight. Sadly this amazing trip is closing to an end. Hopefully, we will all see each other next year!!!!!!!
