2015 Week 2

Today I awoke with many mixed emotions knowing that it was my last day in the British Virgin Islands but also that I would get to see my family soon. At breakfast we were treated to donuts the size of my face; it was hard to eat two of them. Today was our service work day, so after breakfast...

If anyone told me any other day that I would be waking up at 8am, I would have been moaning and groaning, but this morning, it felt glorious. Today was our last full day on the beautiful Virgin Gorda. Casey shook up our usually breakfast today and brought us huge delicious donuts. After we scarfed down our life sized...

It is amazing that today was the very last day, this trip went by so fast. We started off today with eating some delicious and gigantic chocolate donuts. We then did a beach cleanup, which involved us picking up pieces of a catamaran that crashed a few months ago. It was very difficult to get to this spot. We...

Today was our last day living in paradise, and I will be extremely sad to have to leave tomorrow. Part of the day is dedicated to service and the other is a relaxation time. Our service site was on the shoreline where a big sailboat had gone astray off a mooring ball, and ran ashore. We collected all the...

The final full day in Virgin Gorda had started at bit later, precisely thirty minutes of extra sleep. After an amazing breakfast of massive donuts and juice, we headed toward the harbor in order to snorkel to the site of a previous shipwreck where the debris had been piled up on the shore. After getting to the area our...

Today we woke up to a late start. We had donuts for breakfast and they were massive, almost the size of my head. Then we suited up and snorkeled to a part of the beach at which a ship had wrecked and we were to clean it up. It got beached and destroyed when it snapped away from its...

Today was our final day at the BVI. Today we did our service project and had a free day in the afternoon. For our service project we cleaned up a catamaran that had lost its moorings and wreaked into the rocks. We loaded the debris onto a barge. After we cleaned a major portion of the debris we snorkeld...

For breakfast today, Doc cooked us the best scrambled eggs anyone had ever had. It was like he had fused Caribbean fun in to create the epitome of breakfast cuisine. After the magnificent meal, we left for the last dives of the year. We used both dives to work on our final project. On the first dive, everything went...

On our fifth day of the trip we went and did our project dives and presented the projects today. For the first dive of the day we went to West Dog reef. This was used as our "healthy reef" for our project. The reef there was beautiful, it had tons of parrotfish and grouper. For our project we set...
