Location: Vixen Point, Gorda Sound
This morning we woke up early to sail to The Baths, which is a beautiful bay with many big rocks that you can climb around and jump off of and is where Beyoncé had her pregnancy photoshoot. While most people weren’t happy to have to wake up earlier than most were able to go back to sleep after putting on their PFDs. When we arrived at The Baths, we ate a quick breakfast of bagels and yogurt then we rode the dinghy from the sailboat to The Baths. The Baths were very fun and cool, and after, everyone waited in a long and slow line to the top of a rock to jump off of it and. Kellen, Thomas, Evan, Meredith, Mathew, and Hays even jumped off of it twice, and Mathew and Thomas did flips off of the rock.
After returning from the baths, we sailed to Spanish Town, which was our first time docking and stepping on land after we left on day 2. Evan, Kate, and Claire went to the surf shop first, while the rest of the group went to eat lunch at a restaurant which took a while to find since we got the wrong directions(thanks, Allie). After that, the group went to get snacks at the grocery stores. After eating some of our snacks, we decided that it was getting too hot in Spanish town, and we decided to return to the boat, but people were cleaning our boat, and we were forced back into Spanish town until Aidan was able to convince them to let us on the top.
We then left Spanish town to go to the place we were anchoring for the night. On the way there, Evan, Kate, Lyla, and Claire tanned on the bow of the boat while Max took a nap and Meredith taught Mathew, Hays, Thomas, and Kellen how to make friendship bracelets on their water bottles in the inside of the boat.
When we arrived at the place we were staying for the night, we attached to another boat which has been super fun. After swimming and showing off our backflips off the dinghy, we had a dance competition with them where Claire, Max, Meredith, and Evan showed off their moves until our dinner of beef stroganoff was cooked by Allie, Max, and Beth. After dinner, Meredith and Lyla showed off their dance moves to many songs including Ice Ice Baby. To finish off the night, we had a big dance party with the other boat.
