British Virgin Islands - 2026, Session 2

A Birthday on Roadtown and a Very Merry Christmas!

Location: West End, Tortola

-Hello all, it's me, Cam, back with another blog on White Pearl.

Today started pretty normal with Stormy and Zee making us some pancakes. After an amazing pancake morning, we said goodbye to our friends on other boats and disconnected from the mega raft. Ari had us motoring over to one of our final dive sites called “The Painted Walls”. On the way to the dive, Zee read a book called Seabiscuit to the birthday girl, Sophie! After a very choppy sail, we were all very excited to get into the water. On the dive, Sonja, Stormy, Ellie, and Kylie saw a “MASSIVE” stingray while Ari, Maya, Shawn, and I were busy looking at some huge lobsters who were hiding underneath some rocks. After that great dive, Ari and Shawn sailed us over to our next destination, which was Roadtown. Jorge and Lucy took a quick trip to the clinic while the rest of us went into town to talk with our families and get some last-minute snacks as well as some good lunch at places such as Pussers and D’Good Cup Cafe. After our hour or two on land, we sailed over The Bight, where we will be mooring for the night. We all took our last Ocean shower of the trip, where we tried to make it last as long as possible and where Max, Jorge, Maya, Sonja, and I made the most of the time we had by doing some cool dives and flips off the boat. After our shower, Stormy and Zee got an amazing cheddar and broccoli pasta with cheddar biscuits; dinner ready. While eating dinner, we all got to see some really cool speed boats wiz past us on the way to the Willy. T bar for Christmas! (It's the 25th of July, meaning Christmas in July) We ended our dinner with us all singing Happy Birthday to Sophie and getting ready for Card Night.

-Goodnight everyone, Happy Birthday to Sophie, and Merry Christmas.
