Location: Prickly Bay, Grenada
Good evening to all!
After our two previously packed days full of experiencing the wonders of Grenada, we were all quite pooped… Once our tummies were filled with a scrumptious breakfast, we jumped into the day. We started off with Marine Bio class–taught by our one and only Steph–where we began to learn more in-depth about ecosystems and the relationships that form the food web, recognizing that all organisms within are connected in some way or another. We then enjoyed some delicious lunch followed by an efficient clean-up as Steph, Heather, Drew, and Nick worked on retrieving our lost anchor–spoiler alert: the mission was a success, wahoo! After lunch clean-up was finished, the crew began preparing for our passage as we plan to head out bright and early tomorrow morning! We then had some time to study for our first quiz in Oceanography, followed by class time with our very own lovely Heather as we dove deep into the logistics of water and its’ super intriguing properties;) Since we were quite drained, we spent the rest of the day catching up on work, sleep, jumping in the ocean, and enjoying the delightful company of our friendly sun as it shined bright for us after a drenching past couple of days; soaking up our drained energy and leaving us warm and replenished. We ended the day with boosted morale and a delightful and fulfilling dinner of pesto pasta and garlic bread (YUM;P). Sending all our love to everyone out there. Out! (PS– catch some pwetty fall leaves for me and a good luck boost!–squeaks)
