2012 Week 1

Today we got to sleep in quite a bit earlier than the previous days here in the Virgin Gorda. I got up and made tea for myself and my cabin mates: Joe Payne and Matt Mills. But after our late rise it was right to the marina where we ate our pineapple and were immediately on the move to...

I spent the majority of the day on the Seadragon. We drove straight to the marina in the morning, and had breakfast on the boat while readying our scuba gear in preparation for our two tank dive around and in the RMS Rhone. The Rhone was a British ship that sank in 1867. I have never seen so much...

Today we got an extra half an hour of sleep so our day began at 8:30 when the taxi picked us up. From there we drove to harbor and ate a fruit filled breakfast. It was a rather short breakfast compared to others, lasting only about ten minutes. Once breakfast was done we headed to the boats. Our destination...

Today we got to sleep in an extra thirty minutes which was really nice. When I finally got up I got dressed and headed to the spot where the taxi picks us up. Instead of going to the hotel for breakfast, we went straight to the marina and ate there. We had two different dives this morning. We ate...

Today our scheduled time to meet down by the taxi stop was 8:30, thirty minutes later than usual...but the chickens didn't know that. Once again I woke up before six and went out on our deck and just relaxed until it was time to get ready. At 8:30, we were picked up and headed down to the marina for...

For a while, I thought that the views and experiences could not get any cooler than what we saw on yesterday's dive, but today's dives blew them out of the water. After we woke up, we went down to the marina for breakfast, which consisted of banana bread, sausage, and eggs. We then took a 40 minute boat ride...

I woke up a little later than normal at 7:00 ready to start an incredible day. I eagerly anticipated going to what I predict to be the highlight of the trip: The Wreck of the Rhone. We quickly ate breakfast on the docks and went out to Salt Island. Now there were four things I really wanted to see...

This morning was a very early morning. We had a quick breakfast , this time at the marina, then jumped straight on the sea monkey with Jeff a Laura and road 30 minutes to salt island. We parked at the marine Rhone park and briefed. We learned a lot about the 300 foot Royal Mail Ship...

It has gotten to the point where we've all lost track of days, someone told me it was Friday but I'm skeptical. Whatever day it is, its a grand one. We woke up and made our way out to the harbour where we had brekky then set sail for our dive site at the R.M.S. Rhone, an English ship...
