Location: Great Harbor, Jost van Dyke
As you can tell by the title, all the Divemasters successfully passed their test YAYYYYYYY. Today, the divemasters and the staff woke up at 3:45 am to do a dawn dive, and the people outside, including me, also had to wake up since we were going underway. Annika stayed awake and helped with the sail while Milo and I went back to sleep. Ruby got lucky and woke up around 9:00ish, while everyone slowly started to wake up around 8. After the divemasters did their dive, Scott left to go dive RMS Rhone for the day while the rest of us went to Road Town. On the sail over to Road Town, Micah, Macy, Annika, and I did our knot test, which was just us showing Aiden we could do them. While we were doing this, Stich and India were blasting old Disney music and giving us a performance with their amazing dance moves.
When we got to Road Town, we made a quick hour-long stop at the Moorings Club. We all went to get coffee and smoothies at a nearby shop, while Annika went to the French bakery to get a long-awaited baguette. After our coffee, we went around to look at all the shops. Ty and Alexis parted ways with us to go to the dive shop to get some much-needed essentials. We all met back up at the dive shop to see that Alexis, Ty and now August were buying towel ponchos so August no longer had to use his homemade one. Once it was 11, we all headed back to the docs to go to Road Town. Madeline and Milo were still checking out, so we had to come back for them. When we got to Road Town, Ty and Alexis sat down at the first restaurant while the rest of us went to a restaurant called the Watering Hole. We had some delicious sandwiches and truffle fries. It was silent as we were all munching away and because we had our phones. After our wonderful meal, we walked around and looked at all the shops. We went into the biggest grocery store we had seen yet and got super excited when we saw they had Celsius. August tried to buy meat to try and catch a shark, but we all encouraged him not to make that decision. After shopping and catching up with all of our friends and family, we went back to the restaurant and waited for our ride back to Graytful. When we got back, we all were chilling on our phones on the sail back to where we were this morning. Madeline, Amelia, Ruby, Annika, and I decided to lay out on the net and Ty joined us later on.
When we were moored, the chefs, Macy and Alexis, started dinner, which was Mexican night, while the rest of us showered. During shower time, Madeline was teaching Milo how to dive and Micah was doing flips off the boat as usual. When we were done showering, Ty and I took over for Macy and Alexis while they showered. After a wonderful meal, everyone was stuffed, and we did squeeze. After, we joined the massive float with five other boats attached to us. Now, we are currently cleaning up, and the open waters are getting ready for their sail test. Wish us good luck!!!! That’s all for tonight, Goodnight Graytful!!!!!!
P. I love you, fam, and I can’t wait to see you guys in less than three days!!!!!!!!!
