Today we woke up in light rain, which some of us, like Diego and Max, slept through, although they woke up when it stopped raining. We started the day off with a great breakfast which included yogurt and bagels. This made us energized for the first rotation day. Rotation day is the day when we do multiple activities for the day. For example, we started off with diving in separate groups, where Ben and Josh truly enjoyed their second dive. After disarming our gear, we went to our second activity of the day, learning to drive a diggy and tie some ropes and knots to help around the boat. While driving the diggy, Josh and JJ were nailing it and doing it amazingly. And then Ella and Eloise nailed all of the knots to spend some time swimming. Then came lunch, some simple and quick sandwiches to replenish our energies and get going to our next activity. We went into testing, which is when you sail some little boats with your buddy, Diego, and Pablo were riding the wind out there, although everyone fell at least once. Mathew and Max even broke the little sail, but it was an easy fix.
At last, he was skiing, but Pablo had to skip it to get open water certified. There, Jas was great at the wakeboard, and Tate tried the wakeboard but decided that the kneeboard fitted his style better. At the end of the day, we ate some delicious beef stroganoff to finish the day. We all helped out to clean the boat, and it was another special day at Action Quest.
