Location: Essauoria, Morocco

Today was a very busy and exciting day. For half of the crew, it started at the early hour of 6:45 to go sand boarding, a 30-45 minuter drive away at a very scenic beach with lots of sand dunes. Edwardo, Amy, Audrey, Watson, Boston, Dan, James, Mac, Grace C., Eliza, Max, and Brendan were all even given tea and a chance to experience some cultural music from the locals in charge of the sand boarding. Meanwhile, everyone else who wasnt sandboarding was out enjoying the town and what it had to offer. Lucas, Ruby, Elise, Talia, and I (Liam) had a nice brunch at a little cafe. While we were doing that, Luke, Jesse, and Theo went to the gym, and Lillian, Grace, Cat, and Chloe went shopping and had some great mint tea. At around 1:30, the highlight of the day, THE CAMEL RIDES!!! They took all 29 of us in a caravan along the coast for about two and a half hours, which was incredible with some amazing scenic views, and everyone took some great pictures. After all that, we got a little free time to do whatever we wanted till the dingy came back to pick us up and take us back to Vela. We then had a nice meal, squeeze, and passage prep. Then we set off to AGADIR. I am sure everyone had an amazing daygoodbye and goodnight.
