Waiting out the Rain
Location: Great Harbor, Peter Island
Our boat spent the day anchored in GHP while we let the rain pass. In the morning, we played in the rain while eating a leisurely and pancake-filled breakfast. During the time we spent waiting out the storm, we were able to get in another (and probably our final) moon dive! We saw countless jellyfish (the non-stinging kind) while we were hopping around the bottom and a giant sea cucumber! We also dissected a squid as the last of our dissections for the Dolphin Program. Gabby pulled out a perfectly intact pen (a kind of pre backbone found inside of squid) that we dipped in some ink from its ink sack. Some shipmates did water sports in the afternoon and came back to the boat for a grand meal of Breakfast for Dinner (shoutout to Amanda for successfully wakeboarding for the first time). We had our second serving of pancakes for the day, along with sausages, cheese biscuits, and eggs. After dinner, everyone turned in their research projects so that Sam could grade them before our presentations tomorrow. Now some of us are watching Pirates of the Caribbean in preparation for our sail race against another ActionQuest boat tomorrow!
