Location: Marina Cay
Today we woke up docked next to three of our sister boats, where a couple of pranks had occurred between the boats throughout the previous night and in the morning- 3 a.m. After setting an alarm the previous night for around 3 in the morning due to a prank that included taking all of our spoons, six of the students on Good Times: Leo, Mia, Arianna, Macie, Ruby, and Anna snuck over to our enemy boat, Forever for Now, and stole some of their kitchen supplies without being detected. When the sun rose and woke everyone up, the materials were taken back, and a breakfast of cereal was quickly consumed before we began our first sail of the day across the Francis Drake Channel to Road Town. To get across, Lindsay helped and taught me (Dani) how to pull in and unravel the ropes to fully release both massive sails, allowing us to sail against the wind and reach a speed of 8 knots. During the voyage, a few of the Dolphin students continued working on their Fish ID books while the Neptunes and some others played card games and had a relaxing morning. As the beauty of Road Town came into view, everyone began preparing to explore the markets and restaurants, trying to find the best places to buy loads of snacks and eat a hearty lunch. We walked about the town for around an hour and a half and came back with full stomachs and arms consumed of an assortment of garments, cookies, and chips. Afterward, we began our sail to Mario’s on the west side of Ginger Island, where we quickly set up our gear and dove a long stretch of a beautiful reef filled with a variety of fish, other sea creatures, and healthy coral. A quick ocean shower was taken before we took our final sail to Marina Cay to eat a questionably cooked dinner of tortellini and moor for the night. We finished the night off with a movie and additions to our nightly midnight (not actually) chats.
