Location: Antigua
Rise and shine, rise and shine, the shout went out. The morning wake-up music blared; the smiling faces greeted a new day, and Casey Jones was wearing his famous skipper hat. The world was in order. It was a quiet day, relaxing and catching up on the school work day. Many enjoyed the amenities of shore life. Shore heads, fruit smoothies, tee-shirt shops, and, of course, the most important of them all, Shore showers. People saw the sights of English and Falmouth Harbours. Some shipmates sat in the shade and worked on literature review papers and presentations. A few brave souls hiked along cliffs overlooking the ocean. During this hike, we fought off some cacti and other spiky plants en route to Shirley Heights. This is an old fort offering a stunning view of Antigua, including a panoramic view of English Harbour. Tonight, we have the first half of our oceanography presentations. What a wonderful day to be skipper. Cool Peace Bye. -Sir Casey Jones
