After “sleeping in” until 7:30, we raised the Bahamian flag, and sang the National Anthem.
Soon after enjoying
some delicious French toast, we drove 30 minutes to the other side of the
Island to pick up plastic. After an hour of picking up everything from fishing
nets, to bottle caps, we headed into the water for a brief swim.
After
lunch we headed to the boat house at 1:30 to learn about coral reefs. From
there, we had a great opportunity to head out on a couple of boats and see the
reefs for ourselves using our snorkel gear. We saw Marine animals like the
Sergeant Major, a shark, and a Queen Angelfish.
After seeing the
reefs, we headed back to our dorms to dry off and play Nuke'em. We then had a
relaxing evening where we worked on our research projects. We also had some
free time to further explore the campus and bond as a group. Overall it was a
great day and we are looking forward to being in the water more tomorrow.
With Pruney Fingers,
Nate and Spencer
