Today we woke up at the crack of dawn and hopped on our
bikes to ride through a Bahamian jungle. After the bike ride we came back to
the dorms, did chores and ate a delicious breakfast of French toast and bacon.
After breakfast, we began to pack up our kayaking gear for an exciting day
ahead.
After a lot of packing and learning kayaking skills, we
finally set out to sea!! Sadly, the currents were extremely strong, so we
didn’t make it to our intended extra exotic island destination. Instead, we
made due with what we had closer to the Eleuthera shore and snorkeled, cliff
dove and played some games about the information we’ve been learning about
marine life (sharks and minnows, barracuda, etc).
After a great dinner, we got prepared for a night snorkel.
We first had a short class explaining many of the biodiversity of the nocturnal
animals we might see. At the snorkel we saw a lot of animals with bioluminescence.
We also saw lobsters, spotted sea hares, octopi (again!!), candy cane shrimp,
rays, and a big spotted moray eel. Ali even saw a nurse shark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are all getting tired, but no one is tired of this island
paradise. See you in a few, Clevekland ;)
