Day 3: Ayres, Project Lightsaber
Another great day in Virgin Gorda. I started the day with a nice little morning workout with me, and two of my roommates, then had another hearty breakfast of cereal, again no milk, fruits, bagels, and a power bar prepped by the Marine 2 guys. Then, we got a ride from Glen to our boats and we quickly got...

After a much needed night of sleep, Jack, Xander, and I went for a quick morning run. Along our short run, we saw Glen driving to the Baths to deliver ice, and we went back to go to breakfast.

Day 2: Wierschem
I could have sleep better last night. I went to bed after an hour of tossing and turning and I periodically woke up throughout the night. I think the cause of these rude awakenings was the size of my bed. My feet hung entirely off, leaving them dangling above the warm tile floor. The air...

I also met my fantastic diving instructors, Gazz...

Our first dive was a checkout dive, and it went fairly well for my first time diving at sea. My weights were a bit...
