Location: The Bight, Norman Island
Today marked the first full day of our ActionQuest expedition!!! After a great night of sleep, we started our morning with some cereal that Sloane prepared for us. YUM. The scrumptious Cheerios fueled us for our adventures that were ahead of us! Once we finished our camp-wide meeting with Mike, where we learned about how to prevent skin rashes and be the best version of ourselves, we settled in on the deck and listened to some tunes! Will, Aidan, and Zoe prepared us for our sailing adventure by briefing us on some of the boat rules. We then set sail into the mystical deep sea. It was peaceful for a little while until we decided to bombard a boat near us with the Rio soundtrack and a synchronized dabbing routine made by Maddie and Sadie. It was beautiful, and they loved it! After a few hours of our spectacular sailing performance, Phillip, Henry, and Natalia anchored us, and we began our swim test. No reinforcements were called! #winning After completing the 10-minute water tread to Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well 10 Min Version,” we celebrated by doing some gnarly flips into the sea. Jack and Bodin were shredding out there with their timed dives! After eating some deli sandwiches for lunch, we began to set sail again for a few hours again. George caught some Z’s while Stella kept watch for the land ahead. We later invited some friends over to share dinner with us! This was Jake and his girlfriend Rachel. Jake is one of the directors here, so we had to clean up the deck so when they got here, they were impressed. We all took our first ocean showers, and then Maddie and I proceeded to look as presentable as possible. (I put on my Minecraft PJs, and Maddie put on her Spider-Man ones) Jake and Rachel really liked them, and while we feasted on some sloppy joes, we performed an anime dance for them!!! They said they’d never seen anything like it!! Anyways, now we are spiffing up the boat for our second night of slumber. I fear this entry has come to an end, but we can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings us!!!!
