Day 8

Author: Elisabeth G.
Location: Vixen Point, Gorda Sound
We had a rotation day! We started with snorkeling in the mangroves, after that we got to sail Rhodes boats (mini sailing boats). We also learned how to use our dive planners. We headed to Leverick Bay after lunch. I think everyone was happy about getting their cell phones back, even for an hour! Shipmates bought snacks at the local grocery store, called their parents, or simply hung out on the dock in the sun and the clear blue sky. Tonight was Mexican night, I am sure everybody enjoyed the tacos! Funniest thing: When Savannah and I thought we would be able to sail Picos (even smaller sailing boats). Obviously we couldn't! We capsized five times in less than ten minutes. Epic fail, but don't worry, we're fine!
