Hello, I am Noah, and I am the Skipper of the day. We had a thrilling day today. It started with the usual breakfast, which was planned to be French toast. However, it ended up being cereal due to a lack of time because of early activity. The activity was a long hike, and since a dinghy took us to the island, we had to swim a few meters to get to the land because the boat would have gotten stuck. There were countless amount of cacti, which unfortunately cut Adnan and Caitlin, but they recovered with lots of laughs. Throughout the whole hike, every time our group was in rocky ocean water, Alexa demonstrated her leadership skills by warning people where the dangerous sea urchins were and to be cautious not to step on them. After our hike, Sienna later found one of the sea urchin spikes on her foot, but thankfully, it was mild, and the spike has been recovered. Our next action-packed activity was wakeboarding, waterskiing, and kneeboarding. Adnan, Jyles, Jacob, and I went on a boat together. Cameron, Arhan, and Conrad were on a boat together, and Alexa, Lily, Caitlin, and Jasper went on a boat together. Arhan got up for the first time on the wakeboard, and the people on his boat were very supportive and uplifting about it. On my boat, the highlight was Jacob’s huge fall off the ski boat, and the same thing happened to Jasper on his boat. After our water sports, we had these delicious chicken salad wraps for lunch, which was eaten up hastily. Soon after, our group went scuba diving and had a blast. We learned many new unique skills underwater that we will most definitely use in the future for scuba diving. After wrapping our time at Mountain Point, we were on our way to Vixon. After the long and sweaty day, we set up for our anchorage, and we all took showers in the seawater and had a 10-second freshwater rinse when done. We finished off the day with cheddar broccoli pasta and a good portion of luxurious, rich, chocolate brownies to go with a movie that we will watch with another boat from sail side we rafted to for the night!!
