Day 1!
Location: Sopers Hole, BVI
Today was the first day on the boat! We all arrived at different times and settled into our cabins. My cabin is Chase, Kellan, Margot, Lilly, and me. We had time to go to the shops and grab some snacks before we headed back to the boat and took ocean showers. After greeting everyone who got off the ferry, we enjoyed the beautiful sunset. For dinner, we had pasta and salad. We all sat together, held hands, and learned more about one another. Each said our names, where we are from, and our favorite part of the day. My favorite part of today was reuniting with my friends from my boat last year, Iris, Lilly, Ellery, and Blake! It was so nice catching up with everyone and meeting new people like Christina, whom I met and chatted with at the Tortola airport. Everyone is super friendly, and the trip is off to a great start!
