Location: Nuku Hiva
The day started with a well-deserved late wake-up. After a nearly three-week-long passage, the crew needed a break. Everyone had to catch up on sleep. However, from 7 a.m., most of us started making our way to the deck. Sarah, Ruby, Gavi, Sydney, Stella, and others were reading or talking with friends and family back home well before the morning meeting. Meg, Katie, and Ani were also up early to ensure breakfast was ready by 8:30, which made my morning skipper routine very easy, as I only had to wake up Skylar, Cason, and Martn.
Today was one of these very rare days in the trip where the schedule looked empty. Most of us spent the morning swimming, snorkeling, jumping off Argo’s cap rails, or just chilling in the shade. At some point during the morning, Denise brought some super tasty fresh fruit onboard -thank you!!
After lunch, we had a different visit. A manta ray approached the boat, and Meg, Sarah, Helena, Emma, and others jumped in the water to try to make contact. With little success…
The acrobatic jumps went on in the afternoon. Thanks, Martn, for the backflip lessons! We also pulled out Charlie’s paddleboard and did some laps around Argo and tested the board’s flotability.
Arthur and Will passed their 800m swimming test towards their Divemaster certifications, one step closer, well done guys!
After dinner, we enjoyed some peanut butter Easter eggs and watched a movie.
Everyone had a great Easter celebration, one to remember for sure. The crew is ready for some diving tomorrow and to explore land in the days to come.
Besos a la familia, hoy en especial a Jorge, Sara, Len y Juana.
