I'm most excited about learning about fire coral in the research project.

Today we started out eating breakfast in the mango cabin. After breakfast we headed to the marina to start our second project dive. Before my group had tested one trial that was deemed irrelevant and claiming too many variables. So we decided to repeat the trial but keeping within controlled variables, matching to the other two. After we finished...

Our fourth day on Virgin Gorda proved itself as a catalyst of beautiful sights above and underneath the waves. The morning began with the refreshing view of sunlight landing upon the island chains and the endless expanse of blue sea drifting into the horizon, revealing improved conditions from the previous day. Plum cabin set out breakfast early, outlining the...

"Wake up it is ‪5:45‬", the call I woke up to until I rolled over and fell asleep for another 30 min. Today was the day we were in charge of breakfast for all of the groups and cabin by cabin everyone started to show up. We rapped up breakfast with time to spare and then made our way...

Well, day 5 started early. Breakfast right outside the cabin was the best of the week(Of course because Lime House prepared it). Will and I placed the cereal boxes in a formation spelling out 'Lime' and we put the honey buns into a pyramid. Long story short, breakfast was legendary because of Lime's incredible abilities. After breakfast we went...

My second trip to the British Virgin Islands began as I could hope for. Although the journey to the island was mostly waiting in planes and airports, I was in good company, and found no shortage of entertainment. When we made it through customs, I felt a sense of deja vu as we ate pizza on a boat as...

Today's activities were turtle tagging, studying invertabrets, and a team challenge on the beach. We started with a lecture over turtle biology and populations all over the world by Dr. Shannon Gore, a Dallas native who used to live just a few miles from Jesuit. We learned how the practices of turtle hunting, regulation, and egg collection positively and...

Day four what can I say I think it was the best yet. I'm gonna skip over breakfast because it's the same as every day cereal. So after the same old same old we went to the dock (sorry I spelled that wrong Dr. Kirby won't happen again) and met up with Ben to go over our agenda for...

Day One,   My day started early when we woke up at 6:20 to make it to breakfast, with all the correct materials we needed for the day. We waited for our driver Glen to take us to the Marina where we would eat as a group. They had a really good breakfast consisting of amazing eggs and bacon. Then after...
