Today a group of us went turtle tagging. It was really cool. After catching one we took measurements and tagged him. After releasing him we sailed to Road Town. We ate lunch and then walked around. Then we sailed to Norman Island, where we will be spending the night.

Today as soon as everyone woke up some of us went wakeboarding, others worked on rescue dives, and afer we ate. Once breakfast was done we sailed to Road Town and shopped around local stores, grabbed lunch, and walked around. Afterwards we sailed for a while and headed towards where we'd stay the night. While the chefs were cooking we played a card game. We just finished dinner and now I smell funfetti cake so I suppose that's next.

We started at the Bight and raced to West End, we finished in dead last! We also almost got caught in a crab trap. We got to West End and cleaned like crazy! Finally, we had a nice BBQ!

This morning we had our big race against all the other boats. Patty J. came first, and we came in second. Then, while on our way to Tortola, we cleaned up the remaining food and threw it overboard. When we docked we began to clean our cabins. After we had lunch we continued to clean the boat and helped with other aspects of the program, such as packing up fins and cleaning dinghies. Afer we spent some time on shore.

We woke up today at a late 7:15 and jumped into cereal and oatmeal with a breakfast visitor. Then after the skipper's meeting we tacked at Road Town to Peter Island and came in fifth (not last) in the race. After the race we went straight into packing :-( and intense boat cleanup aka scrubbing everything clean and emptying trash and junk from cabinets and a whole bunch of Mr. Clean and soft scrub.

Having started the day off with what cereal we had left, we soon got our game faces off and prepared for the race, led by myself and Eric, clad in white garments from head to toe, including non-rubbed in sunscreen in honor of E-rock (Eric). Maya was first to take the helm, leading us toward the start of the race, before joining the remainder of the Cedar crew sitting on the high side. Soon after the race was underway, with Alex and Sammy tending the main sheet, myself and Elliot on the jib, and Kyle on the helm. Having led for the majority of the first leg, Cedar was passed by two boats. Finally passing the line taking bronze, we started to clear out and clean Cedar, which was a lot harder than it sounds, finishing up in the early afternoon. We now have some time to spend in West End before preparing for the BBQ.

Today was our final day in the BVI. We began our day as usual, with loud 80s music anda colorful breakfast of various cereals. Next we sailed to a nearby dive site called the Indians and took a 30 minute morning dive. For our last dive of the trip the water was especially clear and blue, and the fish were especially friendly and abundant. It was amazing, and the trip has been so wonderful! Side note: apart from the beautiful morning dive the rest of the day consisted of cleaning the entire boat.
