You’re as Useful as a Spoon (Niche Reference BTW)
Location: Great Harbor, Jost van Dyke
Well, what's the crack? Today was a busy day on Why Knot. We woke up, and it was surprisingly cold, which gave me an excuse to wear my new hoodie! We got ready for the day and had cereal and fruit for breakfast. We sailed to Cooper Island, where the neppies did some skills on a wreck dive, and the rescues joined them. Cammie pointed out a massive stingray, Ariel saw a baby boxfish (super rare btw), and Jada saw a shark. It rained briefly, and of course that created a rainbow! Holden was quick to point it out to me, but instead of a pot of gold being at the end, there was a super-yacht. Following this magical sight, we had some slightly less magical mac and cheese made by Dillon and Max S, but it's okay because we know they tried.
After lunch and dishy pit we sailed to GHP and blasted music, at the beginning of a song I asked Cammie if it was Hamilton and she informed me that it was One Direction, I think that sums up my music taste. Once we arrived, the rescuers began to panic. The reason we panicked was that it was only 18m deep, calm water, and Hope (the divemaster boat) was very close to us, hence the perfect circumstances for a rescue scenario. Audrey and I started practicing chest compressions to "Pink Pony Club" by Chappell Roan, and Dillon started pacing the deck with binoculars. But I fear the paranoia has gotten to us because no one started screaming or drowning. As the boys started on dinner, the mega raft began! 5 other boats rafted with us (everybody but the monohulls), which is really cool to see. We had ocean showers, flipping and diving off the dinghy, and Fin and I played mermaids. After washing our hair and rating Kenzie's dives, we had dinner, and Kyler and Brendan joined us for squeeze. Atlas went on a wreck dive at night! To no surprise, Max B joined his friends on Restless. After socializing with some of the other boats, we regrouped on Why Knot. I'm currently sitting at the helm writing this, and it's such a clear night that I'm pretty sure I can see Venus! Thanks for reading, guys! (Irish goodbye).
