Location: Mountain Point, Virgin Gorda
Waddup blog, it’s Matthew from Why Knot. Today, we started with a snooze and sail wake-up because the baths were waiting, and we needed to be first, per usual. Rachel and Dawson put together a nice fruit plate for us to enjoy with some oatmeal to fuel our adventures for the day. After that, we sun screened up while London gave us the rundown for the baths + Spanish town. After the talk, we all noticed Sail Caribbean was also at the Baths, but thankfully, all the AQ boats were able to find mooring balls. After that, we took Rango (our super dinghy, pride, and joy, and Ranch’s child) down to the baths. Maddie and Lucy hopped out first for the swim over because they were so eager for cave adventures. The baths are beautiful rock formations on a beach that were in the past used to bathe slaves on their journey to America, which is now a national park for travelers and locals to enjoy. After climbing and weaving our way through the rocks, Redden, Roman, Dawson, and I sent a few back flips off a rock into the ocean while we waited for the rest of the group. I thought the coolest part of it all was that the entire action quest fleet of 10 boats came to the baths at the same time. Ruby and Declan also befriended our new adopted Why Knot member, Blake from Hope, who was a nice kid looking to make some new friends. Post baths, we regrouped back on why not to sunscreen up and sail over to Spanish town. Scarlett and Evan led the rest of our group in a sailing karaoke dance party to brown eyed girl. Then once we arrived, we rotated over to turtle and bath for a delicious lunch. On our way, we stopped at the Asian market to stock up on some snacks to keep us dialed up till our next town visiting (Scarlett got like 50 lollipops to replace her strawberry açaí lemonade no inclusions venti from Starbucks). Then we went to Mr. Nice Guys, where we all got matched in PJs to do our next night dive in (photo shoot coming soon!!!). After Spanish town, we began our sail to Mountain Point while our staff, Player, and Rachel dropped crazy ball knowledge during our search and recovery review dive chat. After that we had what it seemed to be our first time to fully relax during our trip. The player put us all onto his favorite live music jams like the Grateful Dead, Widespread Panic, the Underground Spring House, and Dogs in a Pile. During our jam and chill sesh we almost lost our precious bean bags but thank goodness valentine our very own Humphrey was there to dive in on the spot to save them and bring them back to the boat, i guess we are learning a thing or too about rescues. To finish off the day, Dawson and Rachel made beef stroganoff, salad, and garlic bread, which the players rated a harsh 6.5. I’m so stoked to be on why not with all these cool people doing cool things every day. Hope you enjoyed the blog, get ready for tomorrow, BANGGGGGG!!!!
