Location: Vaiorea Bay, Tahaa, French Polynesia
We woke up to another warm day in paradise with excitement and anticipation for the six new students to come. After eating breakfast and cleaning up, we had a marine biology class to start off the morning. After class, we had free time to sit in the sun, play cards, or work on some marine biology assignments until the new students arrived. Alex G greeted them with his newly acquired skill, gainers off the bow. We then got ready to change locations and move to Tahaa. All the new crew members got a crash course to eating on passage and the cleaning duties involved afterward. Once we arrived in Tahaa, people practiced backflips and gainers off the bow of the boat while the chefs worked hard all afternoon to make a delicious stuffed pasta dish. At dinner, to make sure everyone is present, we do a count-off, and today, we no longer had to say 23, 24’s not here yet, so we were all excited about being able to finish the count-off and enjoy our first night together! For all 30 accounted for, let the journey begin.
