Intro to Turtle Tagging

Today we woke up a little bit earlier than usual, but it was well worth it because we had French toast for breakfast. We went on a small hike on Virgin Gorda to a small beach area where we talked

about how much plastics mess with the environment, and we tried to clean up the beach a little. I found a shotgun shell along with lots of straws, bottle caps, and small pieces of broken plastic

everywhere. Then for lunch, we had mac & cheese, and everyone loved it. After lunch, I sailed the ship to Deep Bay, where we had an introduction to turtle tagging, and we “power snorkeled” the bay searching for turtles. I saw three stingrays, three jellyfish, and lots of fish, but we didn’t catch any turtles, but we saw at least 20 turtles from the ship. I hope we have better luck next time. After we left the deep bay, we sailed to Mosquito Island, where we dropped anchor for the night.
