Location: Savanna Bay, Virgin Gorda
This blog begins the night before with some undercooked brownies. Maya had begun cooking, but after waiting what felt like hours for the brownies to finally cook through. Aidan sat on jiggle duty (shaking the brownies to see if they had cooked). We finally gave up and decided to eat the brownies communally from the tin. It quickly turned into molten chocolate. After this fiasco, Aidan and Jackson deckied away the mess, and we all rested tranquilly. The next day began bright and early with pancakes. Cameron and Jackson stirred together a breakfast to rival the most refined restaurants, despite some hair in the syrup, it was still a Michelin star. The cleanup from breakfast was eventful; a cup was lost in the ocean, but Lorelai performed a rescue dive and saved the drowning chalice. Since it was a Wednesday, all the girls wore pink because of Mean Girls. After the cleanup was finished, we were lectured on the importance of streamlining ourselves by Rachel. Following this, we departed for the beach. On the beach, we practiced navigating with our compasses. However, the main event was the chicken fight. Aidan and Lorelai DOMINATED in chicken fights, defeating Maya and Kate, as well as the competitors from other boats. Stella, Casey, and Audrey attempted to toss Lorelai into the air; however, it only ended in a short face fall. Aidan, Kate, and Lorelai attempted a three-person chicken tower but nearly drowned Aidan. After the beach, we sailed to Mahoe Bay and did our navigation dives. Kate and Maya went first, and Ellery shocked the boat by performing a successful navigation square, a new feat for her.
Rachel saw a sting ray, but the reef was otherwise barren. After the Nav dive, we ate a lunch of scrumptious chicken salad. Maya and Kate took FAT naps. Ava did NOT get tan. The rescue divers then did their surface dives, rehearsing Panicked and tired diver scenarios. Stella, Maya, Kate, and Casey were amazing actors. After the Nav dive, Cellery and Kate had a sunscreen fight, which resulted in them both having to shower again. Audrey organised the dive books during this chaos. Lorelai, Maya, Cellery, and Kate conversed in their domicile. We then ate a dinner of chili and rice. It was widely agreed upon that the rice was delectable. And now we sit here, waiting for dive chats.
