Odin II

We woke up and ate some oatmeal for breakfast, and got ready for a fun day. We went swimming, boom swinging, dinghy driving, and had some other boats hang out on our boat. After everyone left, we headed over to the Bight and had some music, hot dogs, and veggie burgers for lunch. Once we were anchored, we got ready for our hike. We headed over on our dinghy and hopped off, and started the hike. It was extremely hot, but it had an amazing view at the top. Everyone went to the mid-peak helicopter pad, except for two brave souls, Blaire and Henry, who went with Allie to the very top, which involved a very steep climb up rocks and through bushes, but with the coolest view ever of almost all of the BVI. We all were super overheated and cooled off in the water after the hike. There were so many moon jellyfish! It started storming, and we finished up our showers. We all got out and had some cheddar broccoli pasta and cookies and cream ice cream for dessert. We all headed inside because of the lightning, and another boat in the anchorage was actually struck by lightning, but everyone was okay! We then, while waiting out the storm, played a game where we confess things we have done on the boat to Allie and Liz, but they are not allowed to get mad or get us in trouble. Confessions mostly involved some of our missing spoons and forks, which were revealed to have been dropped overboard! After that was finished, we started writing cards to each shipmate, including the instructors, and our future selves, and the AQ office. We will read them after the trip, and we can keep them for the rest of our lives! Everyone is super excited to read theirs, and they might bring back some memories that we have forgotten over the trip. We then had a dance party to celebrate that the lightning storm is over. We went to bed around eleven, and today was an amazing day!
