Location: The Bight, Norman Island
This morning we started with a 7:30 am wake-up after staying up late the night before talking and getting to know each under the stars. Then, we did our first sail to Norman Island! We learned how to rig the boat and worked on our tacks. Noah was our first skipper, then Violet, Johnathan, and I each took over the helm. For the returning AQ students, we enjoyed getting to sailing again, and the whole crew had a ton of fun learning how to sail. After mooring at Norman Island, we ate lunch, and all passed our swim test (6 laps around the boat and 10 minutes treading water). In the afternoon, we snorkeled in the caves and saw a turtle. We had some time to relax, and Audrey, Ana, and Sophie made friendship bracelets. Then, Alex and Johnathan cooked a delicious dinner of Sloppy Joe’s and mashed potatoes. We ended the day with a dance party and a game of cards.
