Location: The Bight, Norman Island
Hi everyone, it’s Amelia again! Today might just have been the best day yet. It started off great. The staff let us sleep in until 8, which meant everyone was in a good mood. We then had a delicious coffee cake breakfast, and then we did a quick clean up before a relaxing sail over to Norman Island. We swam around for a while and saw two sea turtles!!! We got so close to them that we could’ve touched them—definitely one of the highlights of the trip. After swimming around for a while and taking so many videos on Hanna’s Go Pro, we got ready to snorkel. We snorkeled by these really pretty caves. We saw so many different types of fish that I’d never seen before. We went over to Willy T’s for lunch with Friend Ship. It’s a really cool boat restaurant. We ate our delicious food on the top deck and then jumped off the back of the boat into the ocean, which was so much fun. We all did cannonballs which was extremely painful, and had a blast watching people backflips. On our way out, Aria, Brie, Jack, Rangeley, Hanna, and I all bought merch from the restaurant to commemorate our amazing time. When we got back to Odyssey, Beth returned!!!!
We were all so excited to see her and have her back for the end of the trip. We hung out around the boat while Tait, Beth, and Sylvia were at a staff meeting, then we took showers in the pouring rain. After the rain cleared up we saw the most beautiful sunset we’ve seen this entire trip. We all sat outside and watched the sky. We had a very deep squeeze question where we all bonded and reflected on our time in the BVI. We’re all so sad that the trip is almost over but are using the time we have left to savor every last minute together. I miss you, fam. See you on Monday!!
