Day Four on the Island
Another tiring wake up today, but excitement trumped the sleepiness with the Marine 2 visiting Necker Island. Sir Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Group which is comprised of 400 companies, owns Necker Island. The Island contains various lemurs from Madagascar, as well as flamingos, tortoises, and Scarlet Ibis. It is $60,000 a night to rent the island, but...

Final day jack barker
On our final day on virgin Gorda, we got to sleep in and extra 30 minutes, thank god. Then we headed to the cabin at the top of the hill for a breakfast of doughnuts the size of my head. They were probably the best I've ever had. Then for our last activity since we cannot dive, we...
Day 4 in BVI
I thought yesterday was going to be the best of the trip but Doc, Mr. Kirby and the whole Dive BVI managed to outdo themselves. After breakfast and a trip to the marina, the Marine Bio 1 and Marine Bio 2 teams split up at the marina. As a Marine Bio 2 student, I boarded Sea Dragon with Gaz,...

Suarez, day 3
Today started off with a 615 am run with my group members, shortly after we got ready to go scuba diving and eat breakfast. Breakfast was the same thing as yesterday but my cabin prepared it this morning so that was pretty cool because we got to lead in prayer. After prayer we started to eat but not before...
