Day 7- Pier

Like any morning, eating breakfast at 7:00, and going on the boat at 8:00. We set out to the first location, which was called Sand Hole.

This resort consisted of many welcoming workers which made my day a whole lot better due to the traveling. A few hours into getting to know the place, my partner, Blake, and myself decided to snorkel...
