We didn't blog yesterday, but I will still recount the day. Yesterday was quite the tough day, but very rewarding as well. It began with an early wake up to be ready by 7:30, followed by a ride to the Barbour for breakfast in the Dive BVI office. That morning's was similar to yesterday with the addition of banana nut...
