Location: Dominica
Halloween was always my favorite holiday as a kid, and it is still today. This is probably because I wanted to be an actor, and Halloween is one day that you can dress up and play a particular character. And nothing is better than the perfect costume to run around in for a night. Halloween aboard continues to be a fun experience, and the crew is always challenged to come up with creative costumes. Ocean Star’s crew did well this year, making for a fun costume contest tonight, for whom the winners were Nash as a girl (who actually shaved his legs!), Lucy in her thug boy role, and Geraldine as the very scary porcelain doll. Even more entertaining was watching everyone give their Oceanography presentations in their costumes still. Outside of the Halloween celebrations, the crew did a double tank dive this morning, seeing all kinds of unique sea life, including the very small and elusive sea horse. After that, the crew explored the capital of Dominica, Roseau, and got their first taste of the islanda good day, one of Dominica, with only better days to come. And now I look forward to capping off the night with Scary Story Time’ with the Captain. Happy Halloween, everyone. Have a good night and sweet dreams.
