British Virgin Islands - 2025, Session 3

Final Night at Anchor

Location: The Bight, Norman Island

Hi, everyone. My name is Bella, and I’ll be retelling the tale of what we all did today to the best of my ability. Enjoy!
Today we woke up to a beautiful morning, still connected to the two other boats. It sprinkled a little bit of rain while we put our sleeping stuff away, and the chefs, Lilly and Henry, started making pancakes. We waited for the pancakes to be ready and then ate. We all cleaned up all the dishes and the boat as usual and got ready to move. The other boats disconnected from us, we unmoored and moved to a different spot in Great Harbor Peter. It only took a few minutes to move.
We waited for the tanks to finish pumping while Elly, Ava, Bella, Tatum, and Maddie went for a swim, and Henry, John, Will, and some others went snorkeling. The others stayed on the boat to read, hang out, and more. Once the tanks were ready, we set up our dive gear and went diving. We went in individual buddy pairs, and some buddies followed the instructors. The other pairs went exploring along the wall, which was pretty cool, and in the surrounding area. I was buddied up with Tatum, which was great because she is a great buddy, and I always know where she is. I never have to really look for her because she’s always near me. We dove by ourselves and followed along the wall. We saw some cool fish and got to see a brittle star, pointed out to us by Ava and Elly. The others saw a turtle, pufferfish, baby smooth trunkfish, and more! We surfaced and put our dive gear away before sailing over to Road Town. Bella (Me!) drove us off the mooring ball and to the harbor.
We all got in the dinghy and went to eat at Village Cay. It took an hour to get our food, even though it wasn’t very busy. The food was okay. We walked around, popping into different shops, and some people bought some stuff. We got to use our phones during this time and had them on shore with us. After being on land for about two hours, we got back to the boat, where we got ready to sail. While underway, we started cleaning and packing up some of our stuff.
We arrived in the Bight, and Lilly and Henry started preparing dinner. We took boat showers, which were refreshing, and the staff all went to a meeting. We hung out while dinner was being made, the staff returned, and we ate rice and beans with franks and veggies. We squeezed and threw Henry and Player into the water, which was really fun because they started doing flips and dives off the side of the boat. We cleaned up and will be writing cards.
Have a great day/night! I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I’ve enjoyed myself today!
