Location: Muskmelon Bay, Guana Island
Today was a rotation day! Which basically means we get to do a bunch of fun activities and bond further with the people on our boat. Starting off, we had a delicious breakfast of bagels and yogurt thanks to our chefs of the day, Noah and Ellie. Afterwards, we went diving! Vega students worked on skills such as mask removal and following a compass at 30 feet! Barracuda students had a fun dive and had the chance to explore the beauty of the underwater world. All of us saw fish and other marine life, along with some beautiful underwater plants. After that, we got to go zesting! (sail tiny sailboats with friends) There was some capsizing action from almost everybody who sailed today (Ollie, Reed, Gwyneth, Clark, Skylar, Noah, and me). Most of the time, it was for fun. Today, Ollie got to try zesting by himself! He was doing well; however, it does get tricky. So, Reed decided to jump in and help him.
Gwyneth and I turtled our boat and had a great time trying to flip it back over. Graham was very busy making zesting look extremely easy. Then we had lunch and went waterskiing, kneeboarding, and wakeboarding! Bryton crushed it and was able to waterski with one ski and no hands. Natalie had some amazing moments kneeboarding while our counselor attempted donuts. Later, Brian and Noah went on a dive to make up for the ones they missed and saw an octopus and had an incredible time. The rest of us went on a beautiful hike, and afterwards went on a rope swing off one of the sailboats. Clark, Skylar, Reed, Graham, and Ollie all had a fun time attempting and doing flips, jumps, and dives with the swing, while Ellie, Gwyneth, Natalie, Bryton, and I had a peaceful time talking in the sun and taking in the marvelous view. Ollie was able to do an incredible backflip while others were not so lucky. We had a delicious dinner, and all the Barracuda students went for a night dive! Overall, it was another amazing day in paradise!💕
