Location: Great Harbor, Peter Island
The day was started in different ways by different people. For the early birds, we were greeted by Jake surfacing with a baby octopus in hand while it was raining cats and dogs. On the other hand, the late wakers were woken by the sound of Mac clashing pans together at full force while screaming, “Wake up, wake up!” Later in the day, we prepared our gear and moved into a dinghy, and made our way over to Aloha for a wreck dive. As we descended, we saw the wreck of the Fearless, which was an old mine sweeper used by the military to get rid of unexploded mines. After its use, it was intentionally sank and lays on the bottom about 67ft down. We mapped the vessel as an exercise. After the dive, we made our way back to Good Times and ate lunch. After the compressor had refilled our tanks, we prepared for a second dive, which this time was planned and executed independently from the councilors by each separated buddy pair. After the second dive, we were greeted by Jake, who had just come back from a joy ride on the SUPER DINGY over to Tortola to drop off our laundry (very much appreciated, Jake). They later used the super dingy to give us all a wakeboard session, which was enjoyable watching everyone wipe out. For dinner, we had Thanksgiving, which was enjoyed by everyone except Mac, who had his water swapped for refreshing salt water by the boys.
