Location: Treasure Island
Alas, our GPS can not be given due to the fact that we are anchored outside of Norman Island in the BVI. For you landlubbers out there, it is indeed the same island that Robert Lewis Stevenson wrote about in his book Treasure Island. In fact, we can gaze off the bow of O’Star and see Spy Glass Hill and Skull Rock. As we arrived here today, we navigated our small boats to shore and explored (snorkeling) some caves. Everybody was instructed to look for shining underwater relics made of gold. But our searches came up in vain. Afterward, we came back on board and put away our underwater exploration gear (SCUBA stuff) for the last time. There was a moment of silence, as it was a sad day, knowing that our diving trip was over. But our spirits could not be broken, and we soon re-rigged our main boom to turn it into a boom swing. Soon, the crew was swinging and having a great time. Tonight, we are wrapping up the semester with some closing thoughts and secret briefings on all the treasures that we found, which brings me back to the reason we have no GPS: Treasure.
