Harbor House Out

Hi friends and family of HHO! Today was one of the best days at AQ; Rhone day! We woke up to blasting Scottish bagpipes at 7:30am and motored over to Salt Island for a pre-Rhone hike. After the hike, we headed over to Hope and set up BCDs and also got a history briefing on the Rhone. The open water divers (Asher, Alden, Davis, PC) did their first wreck dive today at the stern of the ship and made it to 60ft in depth! The advanced divers (me, Stella, RJ, Grace, Hoyt, and Aodhan) dove the bow, which was so cool. My group saw a huge pufferfish, and RJ picked up a dead lobster. At the end point of our dive, the group also did a swim through. The walls were surrounded by colorful coral, and so many vibrant fish swam through right beside us, which was such an amazing experience. Grace, Reese, Hoyt, and Aodhan saw an eel and barracuda on their dive. For lunch, we had ramen, and then the open water students took their sailing knowledge test, which everyone passed! Advanced then had their International Yacht Crew knowledge test, which everyone passed, along with the VHF test. We then got underway to GHP, where we are anchored tonight. For dinner, RJ made us Mexican night! Stella and I made delicious taco bowls, which reminded us of our meals at home. After dinner, we did Squeeze, where my question was, “If you could have any job at AQ, what would it be?” Afterward, we started cleaning up, and now we are preparing to go hang out with the raft after showers. All the catamarans in the fleet are rafted, and although we aren’t spending the night with them, we get to hang out there until 10:25. We are so excited for Road Town tomorrow and to get to call home when we get our phones! Goodnight from Harbor House!
