Coral Transplanting and the Rhone Dive: Day 4 and 5

Today was another fantastic day in the BVI. We went to bed around 10:30 and slept in until around 7:15. We made coffee me got our bag ready for another long but extremely fun day. Glenn picked us up around 7:45 and we headed straight to the Marina. Once we pulled up Casey was waiting the for us with...

Chandler Clark

I decided to take this class for several reasons. Regular biology was one of my favorite classes thus far at Jesuit, so taking another one was appealing to me. I've also been interested in diving for years. I was certified about four years ago, and have been diving in countless places, including Hawaii and all over the Caribbean. Since...

Goodnight from Virgin Gorda

We had such as busy day today that everyone went to bed before posting blogs. From coral replanting to night snorkeling, we did it all. They will be back tomorrow night to update you and include some pictures! Tomorrow is a 2 tank dive on the RMS Rhone - an annual favorite!

The First Day

Today was a pretty amazing day. I woke up early to the sound of roosters and dogs barking, but that had no impact on how the events of the day unfolded. After we were all up and had left the hotel, we went to a small room down by the ocean for breakfast and some class time. The information...

Failure to Identify Results in Failure

Waking up when you are supposed to be ready to leave is not a good way to start the day, but that is what I did this morning. Again, not a great way to start the day. However, we quickly headed to a hearty breakfast consisting of cereal, bread, yogurt, and some apples. Definitely a good start...

Too Much Blog, Not Enough Space!

So I guess this would be two days worth of blogging mushed into one, but remembering things is difficult. So we woke up yesterday morning, got all our stuff together and headed to the taxi which took us to breakfast at the marina. After a nice breakfast filled with basking in the sun and talking, we put our...

Being at Savannah Bay means it’s a good day

Today I woke up by the annoying rooster calls. I immediately got my stuff together and went to the cattle guard to meet everyone. Once there we gathered in a community room at Guavaberry, there we ate some donuts and cereal. After breakfast we had Dr. Gore give us a presentation about sea turtles. I learned a lot about...

Seeing a Turtle is Like Hugging Them with Your Eyes

So I think yesterday was my sisters birthday, and before I write my blog, I need to say Happy Birthday! Hope I got the day right this time, even if I was late in saying anything. Now back to me. Waking up this morning went way better than yesterday, since I know everyone reading was waiting to find out. But...

Part 3: They’re not Mermaids, They’re Dugongs!

Day 4 Today, I awoke to the crowing of roosters, and the shuffling of feet. It was 7 o clock, and my whole crew moseyed on Down to the commissary to dine on Donuts and nutri grain bars. Dr. Gore debriefed is on everything to know about turtles. I think I can finally determine whether a turtle is green...
