Location: Marigot Bay
Allison and I woke up early to cook a delicious breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes. Then, we did our dishes, as usual, in buckets and hand-dried them, but this was to the amusement of the mega-yachters around us, who told us they were surprised a boat existed without a dishwasher! Though we live a simple lifestyle aboard Ocean Star, we all agreed it was way more fun and social to wash dishes on deck in buckets. Casey taught a Marine Biology class. Then, we had a friendly debate in my Oceanography class about the pros and cons of aquaculture. The shipmates had the rest of the day to explore Marigot Bay. Most enjoyed a lunch out with some very sinful-looking desserts, some indulged in specialty coffee drinks, others purchased souvenirs, and some simply spent time on the internet getting in touch with friends and family at home. After a fun day in Marigot Bay, we ended with dinner on deck as we watched people wander around the docks and listened to reggae music in the background.
