2013 Week 2

The day started out with breakfast and a presentation about the different types of sea turtles we can find in the BVI. It was a brief, yet very informative presentation by Dr. Shannon Gore. After the presentation was finished, we went to Savannah Bay to snorkel and learn about different types of invertebrates. It was both a fun and...

I was woke up by Kyle today, 'twas interesting. When I woke up i got everything I needed for the day which was sunblock, mask snorkels and fins. Anyways my cabin and I were the last ones to get to the cattle guard, where everyone would meet. Then we went to breakfast and that was delicious, had some banana...

After my forth day in paradise, I am still not used to the 7:30 AM wake up call. I quickly got up from my sleep to stop my alarm clock from ringing and began my journey to the Guavaberry internet cafe for breakfast. Once again, Casey supplied us with another delicious breakfast of donuts, cereal, and fruit. After breakfast,...

After playing a couple card games last night we all went to bed. The wake up call this morning was a little too early after a day of diving but everyone was ready to start the day in the baths. The baths, an area of broken apart rocks that form caverns, were beautiful with plenty of fish swimming everywhere...

Day 1 Woke up in a new Bugatti. Just kidding, woke up in an open cabin and very sweaty but that wasn't enough motivation to get up but eventually I did. I then proceeded to put on a swimsuit, a shirt, flip flops, and a bag with my scuba things. We jumped...

Well the flight from Dallas was fun, or as fun as a flight can be I guess. and I slept on sections of the last two flights (the one from Puerto Rico to the BVI was a propeller plane, which I thought was cool). But talking about sleeping on a plane would make a boring blog, so I guess...

This morning I discovered that the rooster, who yesterday was so intent on disturbing our sleep, cannot be trusted as a reliable alarm clock. It was nowhere to be found at 5:30 in the morning, but fortunately my cabin mate Dylan woke me up at around 6:45. After a breakfast of banana-nut bread and cereal, we headed down to...

I woke up today exhausted from the previous day of diving. I fought the temptation to lay back in bed and got dressed and packed up for the day. Then, with the rest of my cabin, I walked to the cattle guard to meet up with the rest of the group. Once we all got gathered we went to...

The day began similarly to yesterday in that we didn't have to wake up to the sound of a rooster. We then went back to the main building to have doughnuts that could have passed for tires. During breakfast, Dr. Gore came to give a presentation over turtles and the importance of the tagging. We then split into boat...
