Location: Vixen Point, Gorda Sound
Today we all woke up tired from a crazy previous night at the barbecue. People from all the boats flooded to the dance floor and spent nearly the whole night dancing and singing. This morning we awoke to a breathtaking view and the promise of another rotation day. We kicked things off with another early morning dive chat going over two chapters we had been assigned to read, fish ID and night diving. After a gripping conversation, we were shuttled to Meow or Never and Odyssey, which were tied together to form “The Raft”. Carlo, Myles, Shane, Riley, Sophie, Ana, and I all relaxed for the beginning of the second rotation, where after we went swimming and sailed the zest. For our third rotation, we went out to do water sports. Zoë, Lilly, and I went with Kackie, while Maya and Julian went with Davis. It was a bit choppy, but overall, it was stupendous,, and everyone did some huge jumps. Upon return to the raft, we had our fourth rotation, which consisted of mainly the same things as the second but now with more zests open, which Maya, Zoë, and Carlo took advantage of sailing for hours.
Additionally, my mother and father appeared on their super yacht and blessed us with chocolates. In our final and best rotation, we went snorkeling in the mangroves. We saw an endless amount of fish, including barracuda, eagle rays, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and upside-down jellyfish 🪼. We went back to our boat and enjoyed our ocean shower. Alta and Myles crafted a delicious Mexican Night dinner under way which was an interesting challenge for them. We all danced to Disney songs while I wrote this. I hope everyone at home enjoyed this blog and knows that everyone here is having the time of their lives.
Live, laugh, love
