2013 Week 1

Every aspect of today simply was strong; every day out here seems to just get stronger. This morning we woke up at 7:10 after a night of playing cards in the cabin. I felt pretty sleepy at first but as soon as I had my coffee I was up and ready to go. We met at the road at...

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...

Today was thoroughly packed, yet one of the best days I've had this year; There were a lot of firsts for me as well. This morning I woke up to the sound of a Rooster, which was definitely a first. The morning came very fast, but the crow of the rooster was just a symbol that today would not...

I woke up at 7:00 a.m. from the crow of a rooster and a ray of sunlight in my eyes. I was exhausted from the prior day of travel. As I walked into the kitchen I looked out the porch and was able to see the ocean and other British Virgin Islands. Everyone in the cabin got up and...

Please excuse the audio choice...the only songs I had on my iPad were my daughter's, and although Taylor Swift's I knew you were trouble...

Footage from our last couple days in Virgin Gorda with Dive BVI. It was an amazing week and the guys were awesome. I have much love and respect for each of them and appreciate their hard work and respect they showed during their week here on the island. Miss you guys already! Doc

Day three was a very active day. The morning led off with a snorkel and a touch tank. We dove with our instructors and collected things to look at in a tank. Once we got on land we picked up various sea urchins and coral to examine while the instructors told us all about them. We then had some...

We had a great time today with Marine Biology 1! We went to Savannah Bay for a beautiful snorkel and to learn about invertebrates and then headed off to tag turtles! Love Doc

My day started off much more enjoyably than yesterday morning. I woke up exhausted, but at the same time I was excited and ready to take on the day. Me and Jackson White then left the house to go have a delicious breakfast at the internet cafe, consisting of a donut equivalent in size to a regulation basketball and...
