Location: Sandy Spit
From Cane Garden Bay we motored to a tiny island once owned by the Rockefeller's and took a nice walk around the island followed by some beach time. After that we sailed to the notorious Foxy's where we ate lunch and explored the little beach shops. Then we did a mangrove clean-up near Sydney's Peace and Love bar and grill. We then had a very informative environmental session with Colin, (who works with the government) regarding issues in the BVIs. We ended the day anchoring is Sandy Spit with the rest of Actionquest. It was a busy but awesome day!

Location: Cane Garden Bay, Tortola
We woke up at 5:45 and took the dingys over to a really pretty beach to look for turtle nests. When we got back to the boat we sailed for 2 hours to Brewer's Bay. We spent the afternoon tagging turtles. When Michelle and I were snorkeling behind the boat looking for turtles, we saw a huge spotted eagle ray. No one caught any turtles but it was still fun to snorkel behind the dingy. We sailed over to Kane Garden Bay, which is where we are anchoring for the night.

Location: Sommer's Beach, Tortola
It was a very hot and eventful day! First we went turteling which was fun, we didn't see any turtles, but we saw stingrays, barracudas and tonnes of fish. After, we had by far the worst lunch ever. It was supposed to be Mac n' Cheese, but it ended up a cheesy glob that made the entire boat nauseous. After more fun turteling we went to play games with Actionquest , that ended in a beach BBQ . Great food, and fun conversations. Overall, a great day!

Location: Muskmellon Bay
This morning we got to sleep in until 7:30 and started cooking a delicious French toast breakfast. While the shipmates had a crazy time at breakfast, the staff left for a short meeting. We then motored over to Muskmellon Bay to meet up with all of the other Action Quest boats. Today we got a day off and spent the day water skiing, swimming, sailing, wakeboarding, snorkeling and tanning. Everyone had a fun and relaxing day in the perfectly sunny weather with the exception of a few toilet problems. For dinner, Connor and Noah made some super b chili and we all hope to end the evening with a long-awaited game of Mafia!!!

Location: Marina Cay
Today we woke up and had cereal and oatmeal for breakfast. We then motored to a beach and did a clean up for a while. Then we came back and sailed to Marina Cay where we refilled our water. After that we showered and had chicken Caesar salad, rice, and pasta for dinner. It was delicious! Next we went ashore on Marina Cay and met up with the rest of Action Quest . We all listened to an inspiring tape which discussed everything from depression, self-identity, and family troubles. A lot of kids shared their stories in the tape. After the forum we all came back to the boat and hung out for a little bit before we went to sleep.

Location: Anegada
We woke up this morning to an overcast day that never really cleared. After some delicious eggs, we set off to visit the iguanas of Anegada. We went for some food for the iguanas and found some delicious food for ourselves, (tamarin and coconuts.) We also measured and weighed the iguanas and some one accidentally dropped one but some one saved it just in time, and then someone else got a little love bite from one of the iguanas. Finished with the lizards and we taxied to Cow Wreck beach and hung out and ate ice cream. Patrick and Lauren won the Chicken Fights, (they cheated!) It was a bit cold but then we came back to the boat and had some delicious Summer Thanksgiving dinner.
