Location: Sidney's, Jost van Dyke
Hi everyone! It’s Laila, your skipper again! Today was a very, very eventful day! First, we were woken up once again by Riley’s killer rock music at about 6 am to prepare for our 12-MILE hike up Mt. Sage. Although it was tough, Lorelai, Gabby, Vanessa, and I made it to the top and back down together, all while seeing some good views! To end our hike, we had a great reward of going to a nice restaurant for lunch on the beach. Reid and Evan had strawberry smoothies while Angie and our friend Grayson from Shamwari enjoyed ice cream and went shopping.
Once we left, we went back to our boats to get ready for a sandcastle competition! When we arrived at the beach, Alpenglow created an amazing sand castle scene of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward. Eli and Reid helped with making a moat to make sure no water got on our creations, while Sedora and Mar helped Vanessa shape Squidward. We 100% won.
After our victory at the sand castle competition, we took ocean showers and got ready for the BBQ at Sidney’s, but before, we had a sail chat about what to do if someone goes overboard. We then sailed over to Sydney’s and enjoyed chicken and rice, BBQ chicken, ice cream, and salad. There was an amazing DJ (where Krisi once again showed off her amazing dance moves), and everyone on Alpenglow got matching pink t-shirts.
To conclude, today was a very busy, productive, and fun day!
