Day 7 Sherer: “I’m leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be...
Today I once again woke up to the beautiful sound of birds chirping and the feral roosters crowing. As always, the alarm only woke me up, so I had to wake Xander and Jack up. We then got ready and went to breakfast at Mark's cabin. Today we were treated with the usual cereal and fruit, but today Casey...
Day 6 Sherer: Some animals just have no backbone
Today we got to sleep in for a much needed thirty minutes. As per usual, my alarm doesn't wake Xander up, so I had to. We then got dresses and went to Lime where breakfast was being served. I then ate the usual hardy fruit loop breakfast and left for the turtle orientation. During the presentation, Doctor Gore, a...
Day 5 Sherer: A very fishy experience
Today I woke up to a beautiful sunrise, then I fell asleep again two minutes later. Luckily, my alarm woke me up...but not Xander, so I had to wake him up again. I then got changed into my swimsuits with chafe protection (compression shorts), and had a nice hardy bowl of fruit loops for breakfast. We then got aboard...
Day 4 Sherer: Currents and Wrecks
After my group's project last night, we decided to play a game of monopoly. Xander monopolized all the properties by the jail, Jack monopolized the blues and the reds, and I monopolized the railroads and the yellows. All was going well until, Jack went bankrupt to Xander, effectively giving Xander a full monopoly. Resistance was futile, and soon after...
Day 3: Project Lightsaber Sherer
After a much needed night of sleep, Jack, Xander, and I went for a quick morning run. Along our short run, we saw Glen driving to the Baths to deliver ice, and we went back to go to breakfast. Breakfast was once again a hardy bowl of fruit loops without milk and a biscuit with apple juice from South...

Day 2 Sherer
Today Xander and I woke up around 7:00 after a restless first night and went to breakfast. After breakfast, we went to our first dive aboard the Sea Monkey with Jeff and Beth, our instructors. Our first dive was a checkout dive, and it went fairly well for my first time diving at sea. My weights were a bit...
Day 1 (or just the arrival) Sherer
Today was a pretty good day. I finished the Running Man (much better than the movie) on the plane and I arrived in paradise. We arrived in the Virgin Islands around 6:30 ish. From there we got on Dive BVI's boat and went to the island Virgin Gorda. The cabin that Xander, Jack, Brock, and I got today was...
