The Lates Fleet! Day 8
Written by Ellen C., Marine Biology Mate on Blueberry
Another great day in the Caribbean!
Our campers had a little sleep in awoke in the lovely Little Harbour on Jost Van Dyke! For breakfast, we all had some French toast. We then dropped the ball and motored for Sandy Cay, where we held the OLYMPICS!!!
The campers competed in several fun events, including a relay race wearing all their snorkel gear, a synchronised swimming event, bury your counselor and make a sandcastle out of them, and the infamous tug of war with the clear winners being Blueberry!
We then had a lovely sail to Trellis, and said goodbye to some of our Sierra and Foxtrot kids who went to check out the Mangroves. They kayaked through Mangroves, learned how they propagate, their importance for the whole environment, and even planted some new Mangrove trees.
In the meantime, the rest of the fleet did some tubing, wakeboarding, and shore time in Trellis Bay. The campers shopped at a local artsy shop and got some mango smoothies.
Around 4pm, we were all back on our boats. Had showers at 4.30 and then munched on some delicious stir fry. Finally, we had to power down at 9 pm so they can all get some rest for tomorrow.
