Location: Sommer's Beach, Tortola
The day started out with bacon, eggs, and coffee cakes. Everyone was enjoying the meal, and we left no crumbs. Today was a rotation day, and our first rotation was zesting. David and Bryce were on a zest along with Gwynnie and Lilly. Everyone else took a nap and studied their next action quest trip. We then came back home and were scheduled to go on a hike, but it got rained out, so we will go hiking tomorrow morning. Our next rotation was the boom swing, where we were all pushing each other off the boat. Bryce, Iris, Clara, and Sloane all backflipped off the boom swing together. Coco and Ellery sadly failed while attempting to do tricks. Our next rotation was water sports. Gwynnie, Bryce, David, and Lilly went kneeboarding, and Gwynnie did 49 knots like it was a boogie board and went 5ft in the air. David and Bryce did tons of 360s on and off the wake.
For lunch today, we were supposed to have Tuscan bean soup. However, Blake and Anna convinced Will to make macaroni instead. After lunch, the dive squad went to the deepest dive yet. Everyone made it to 40 feet, and we saw lots of wildlife, especially lots of barracudas. It started raining during our dive, so everyone went in early. Next, we picked up the anchor, and while we were moving, we saw dolphins. Once we got to our anchorage, we got set up for the raft with Oryx. After everyone showered, we got shuffled over to the beach barbecue, where there were hot dogs and hamburgers: potato salad, pasta salad, and cookies. I met up with some other guys from Hope and Harbor House, and we all attempted to learn a backflip on the ground. Luckily, I was able to get it down, and I proceeded to do backflips the rest of the night. After the backflips, David and I took down Will and dragged him into the water by his arms and legs. After the barbecue, the raft took a nighttime shower party together. Elle and I ended the night stargazing in the faux hole.
