Tropic Cool

My day started when my man Kyle and I woke up next to each other at the exact same time, which gave the day a great beginning. We had guests this morning that needed to get more covid tests done, so they were on our boat for breakfast. Breakfast consisted of pancakes and more pancakes. Afterward, Sarah announced the 2021 Tropicool Boat Olympics, which were a blast. We divided into three teams. The first competition we did was the blindfolded gear setup. Unfortunately, my team did not come out good in that one, but we somewhat redeemed ourselves in the PFD challenge, where all three teams tied with 12 points. Next was the wakeboarding challenge, which Josh absurdly dominated in. While the wakeboarders were out, the boat terminology quiz challenge was hosted, where Gabi closely pulled out the W. Our first win was the underwater scuba relay race, which was one of the funniest things I’ve done. At this point, my team was far behind, but our next two competitions pulled us up heavily. It started with the dive competition, where Trevor from our team was chosen as our representative. His spectacular inward dive pulled our team up a little but not enough. What pulled us to the top was the final challenge... the dance challenge. Our team simply slow danced to “Mask Off” and somehow won the thing and the whole Olympic challenge as well. The rest of the day was slower, but the electrical storm we went through at night was memorable and scary. Everyone in the marina was okay, but it frightened a lot of people. It reminded me that anything could happen no matter how low the chances are and how important it is to live the moment. It's just like the recording we listen to here every year.
