The last day
Day 7:
Given the chance to sleep in, I still woke up very early because of the roosters. They started making noise around 5am and I finally decided that it was time to get up around 6. Instead of just sitting there, I went on a long run. I took a similar path that I went on a few days...
Day 6 Trash & Goodbye for now
Today we got to sleep in because breakfast was at the teachers hut at 9:00 am. I slept in until about 8:20, got up, and then got ready for the day. Today for breakfast I had a chocolate covered donut, a nutria grain bar, and water. After breakfast we had some free time, so we played some card games...
Our Final Day on Virgin Gorda
All in all, today was a pretty nice day. We didn't have breakfast until 9 this morning, so we all got to sleep in a decent amount. I think I woke up at around 8:30, and it was fantastic to get that extra sleep. Once we were awake, though, we went down to the teachers' cabin and ate breakfast....
Saving the Reef, one Piece of Coral at a Time
Today. The last day of diving here in the BVI. Gotta make this interesting.
So today started like every previous day so far: wake up, back to sleep, get up, shower, change, bus, and breakfast. Today, however, was coral planting day. We mighty, manly men of Marine 2 went first to...
Day 6: The Beginning of the End
Today started out later than expected. After a few days of intense cardio and working out, Christian and I decided to sleep in and skip our workout (Sunday is a day of rest thankfully). Casey of course decided to run which made us both feel guilty but it's ok in the end. Once we finally decided to wake up,...
Day 5~ Jez Reef Round 2
Again the day started off with our usual routine: wake up, pack up, and head down to the cattle guard for the 8:00 taxi! For breakfast I had the bacon & cheese omelette again. After I finished dinner I went over to the Dive BVI shop and bought an awesome hat and shirt. Our plan for the day was...
Final Dive in BVI
Our final day of diving here in the BVI began uneventfully, but for a full recap, please see the opening sentences of past posts. Where the days begin to differ was when we went back to the dive shop. Today, Casey had printouts of a panorama view from the camera we installed. Reverting to our kindergarten love of arts...
Day 5 Transplanting Coral
Today I slept in a little and woke up at 7:15. Then I walked down to the cattle guard to get picked up by Glenn. This morning at the restaurant in the middle of the marina I decided to try the bacon omelet. It was quite filling and tasty at the same time. After doing this Marine 2 went...
Day 5 – coral replanting
Another long night of fraternizing and staying awake pointlessly and the cabins one by one went to sleep after splitting up. I slept very well and woke up just in time to leave to meet with everyone, maximizing my sleep and obviously skipping the planned workout due to unexpected soreness from yesterday's run. Somewhat energized from extra sleep, the...
