2013 Week 2

I just wanted to start this blog off with a HUGE thanks to the dive BVI staff for everything they have done so far and to Dr. Gore who gave us a great turtle tagging (or chasing in my case) experience and presentation. Today I woke up at about 7:20 again and headed down to the cattle guard at...

I set my alarm today for 7:15, but was awoken many times before by various loud roosters outside our cabin. We got our stuff together and met up at the cattle guard, then went to the Internet café where we ate breakfast. This consisted of donuts and cereal. After breakfast, Dr. Gore, the head of sea turtle research for...

Today I woke up by the annoying rooster calls. I immediately got my stuff together and went to the cattle guard to meet everyone. Once there we gathered in a community room at Guavaberry, there we ate some donuts and cereal. After breakfast we had Dr. Gore give us a presentation about sea turtles. I learned a lot about...

Today, I woke up to the sound of the roosters, crowing because the morning was young. We all combed our hair, brushed our teeth, and then went down to the meeting area, better known as the cattle guard. We walked across the street to the Internet Cafe, where we enjoyed some donuts that Casey brought, nurti-grain bars, and cereal....

Last night my classmates and I were able to get more sleep. We all got accustomed to the small bugs, and the rooster surprisingly did not wake us up at 5:30. We all got up, put on our swimsuits, and headed down for breakfast. The breakfast was great and got us going for our tour down The Baths, which...

Waking up when you are supposed to be ready to leave is not a good way to start the day, but that is what I did this morning. Again, not a great way to start the day. However, we quickly headed to a hearty breakfast consisting of cereal, bread, yogurt, and some apples. Definitely a good start...

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...
