I’m getting to this journal entry late, but better late than never. Yesterday was an action-packed day! We woke up as usual, ate breakfast, and then set off on paddleboards to explore the northern side of the island. The calm scenery stretching across the water was mesmerizing. When we beached our boards, we took a short hike and saw not one, not two, but three pink boas! Our tour guide/helper gave us some background about the island and introduced us to a variety of local fruits.
After that, we paddled to another inlet, put on our gear, and got ready to snorkel. This was a new area with a new reef, so I saw plenty of species and organisms I hadn’t encountered before. The coolest thing I saw was probably a spray crab lodged between two cavernosas, an incredible sight! The snorkeling spot was stunning, but also the coldest so far, so we couldn’t stay for too long.
Once we got back, we took a short break and then learned how to make homemade donuts with Johanna, our cook. There’s something special about food made with your own hands, it just tastes better! Later, we worked on our identification documents and then had dinner.
Of course, at night, we took our underwater flashlights and searched for interesting organisms that aren’t usually seen during the day. Later, I worked on editing and uploading my snorkeling videos so my family and friends could see everything I’ve been experiencing. Then, it was off to bed!
