2012 Week 2

Captain's Log - Star Date July 14, 2012 Today was quite an adventurous and long day, waking up at 7:30 in order to start the new and fresh day. Breakfast consisted of bacon, potatoes, and eggs, all prepared with finesse and expertise, evident in their amazing taste. We then had a presentation on how to identify fish and coral in...

Today we woke up at around 7:30 again. We ate breakfast, and Laura gave a presentation / recap over the species and classes of marine organisms in the BVI. Afterwards we all went to Savannah Bay, which had another wide open beach,, where we snorkeled for a few hours before lunch. After lunch we drove back to the docks...

This morning I woke up with no chickens outside my window, surprisingly, and took a shower. I then went and uploaded my last blog, which I will probably do tomorrow morning as well. I put my iPad back in my room, and headed down to the cattle guard, and played frisbee with everyone for a few minutes. The taxi...

This morning, to the bafflement of my ears, I was awaken by not Mr. Kirby's soothing voice, but Rihanna's "We Found Love" blaring from his iPad. However, apart from this oddity today was the best day in the BVI yet. First as usual, we started the day with some mouthwatering bacon-infused breakfast. Laura, one of our many talented dive...

We started off the day at the Olde Yard resort with a breakfast of eggs, bacon, fruit, and coffee. Laura then gave a...

Day three in the BVI was the busiest so far, as it included three snorkel trips and a dive. Once again, the day started with a delicious breakfast that led us into Laura's wonderful fish identification presentation. The presentation gave us a great idea of what we would be finding on our morning snorkel, as well as...

Today I woke up pretty early, around 6:30am and got a good start to the day. I dreaded getting up early but it was not too bad. We then went to breakfast and Laura gave a lecture on different types of fish and coral species that we would see later today. After the lecture we drove over to Savannah...

Today I was woken up at 6:45 and promptly went and woke up my roommates Sean and Alex. We got ready and headed down to the front entrance where the taxi took us to breakfast at the same place. I ate eggs, bacon, and a bagel. We got about an hour and half long lecture from laura about...

Day 3: Day three began with the usual early morning but everyone made it on time today. We loaded up the taxi and went to the olde yard for a good breakfast. After breakfast, Laura taught us all about different marine life and what to look for when we were diving. After her lecture everyone got back into the taxi...
