Location: Vixen Point, Gorda Sound
Today we got awoken with Taylor Swift – I like to think this is the best one so far. Once we were up, we ate some yummy French toast and geared up for the fun, long day ahead. We got split into four groups. One group diving with Stick, the other group diving with India, one doing independent study, and one sitting surface with Ayden. During one of the dives, Anzie, Claire, and Sedona saw a sea turtle and a spotted eagle ray(lucky). Sally and Kai saw a ton of different types of fish while on their dive with Stick, also including a sting ray. After the first two sessions, we stopped for a break to eat lunch (which included more sandwiches). After lunch, David, Player, and I got to sit surface with Ayden, which was so much fun. While sitting on the surface, we listened to country music and Noah Kahan, looking for the bubbles of the divers below us. Daisy, Jake, and Josh were studying hard after lunch – with a mix of tanning and talking. After we all did all four rotations, we put on our life jackets and started sailing for the first time during the trip. Player loved sailing and was bragging about how we got to 7.1 knots. After all of that, we went to the BBQ on shore with all of the other AQ students. At the BBQ, we listened to a DJ and had a good time chatting with all of the people we don’t usually get to see. Now we are going to go to bed because it was a long day of hard work. Also, we were so happy to hear all of your voices today – but now we are excited to put the phones down and go back to quality in-person talking.
With love,
Lizzie 🙂
