Location: Marina Cay

Hi guys! Today we woke up late, Juju woke up at 8:30! The rest of us were up at 7, and we got up to Sonja and Kylie making breakfast burritos and blueberry muffins. We went to get water on Peter Island because as soon as we woke up, we ran out. During that sail, all of us worked on fish IDs, and Kylie and Emi fell asleep at the exact same time in the same place! Can you guys believe that? Then we went diving at Ginger Steps, and we saw three sharks. That means that Emi and Sonja saw the 2nd and 3rd shark in their lifetime. After that, we noticed we were late to the bay, so we took our freshwater showers on the way and ate lunch at a restaurant at 3. Tyler got a rack of ribs, and Antonio got a huge burger. After lunch, we all got matching t-shirts from an art gallery on the island, and we all got the “diving the reef design”.

Something funny is that we have seen every animal on the shirt on this trip! We have an idea that at the end of the trip, we will all sign the back of each of the shirts to remember this amazing trip. We also went to a grocery store and got a special kind of fruit juice that Juno and Sonja discovered on another island. Ellie, Mahe, and Josie all got some, too. Then Maren helped Emma deliver food to all the sailside boats. My squeeze was the best one yet. It was for us to jump in the water except the staff, but Emma was the first one in! We had sandwiches for dinner and then did a special forum about living in the moment. Ari had heard it last year, but it was a good reminder for all of us. That forum really did show us that we should always appreciate who we have and always live in the moment, we never know what comes next. Then, after that loving message, we went to bed for another day tomorrow.

Your favorite shippie signing off, Emi⛵️
