Today we woke up early to hike Spyglass Hill again and see the sunrise. I was skeptical at first when I was woken up at 4:55 am, but once I got to the top I realized how special the morning was. We've spent the whole day cleaning and getting ready to go home. I can't believe it's coming to an end. Everyone's sad, but we're still having a great time. We're looking forward to tonight's barbecue.

Turtling
Author: Andrew
Location: The Bight, Norman Island
Ali and Eve were extremely creative with breakfast today. Pancakes were on the menu, but they added apples, bananas, cinnamon, and peanut butter to the various mixes as we sailed to a new turtling spot. JJ spotted two turtles, but we weren't able to catch either one; this was our last chance too. After lunch and a nap, we motored back to the Bight, where we started clean up on the boat to minimize how much we'll have to do tomorrow.

Hike and Roadtown Freetime
Author: Sarah
Location: West End (Smuggler's Cove) and Roadtown
Today we got up early and sailed to West End where we started our voyage on day one. We attempted to hike to Smuggler's Cove, but we got lost a few times. When we finally got there, we were going to do a beach clean, but it was dirty at all! It was a beautiful and clean beach. We swam for a while and then hiked back to Soper's Hole. After lunch, we motored to Roadtown where we had a few hours to shop around. The staff treated us to a delicious authentic Roti at Roti Palace. We had wonderful gelato and took the dink back to the boat to sleep.

Hiking and BBQ
Author: Rachael
Location: Mount Sage, Sandy Cay, and Sidney's at Jost Van Dyke
Today we woke up early to hike to the highest point in the BVI, Mount Sage. The roads were really steep, but somehow we all made it to the top. The view was gorgeous. We mostly had to run all the way down, but once we made it to the beach for cheeseburgers we all felt accomplished. We had some freetime to shop until we had a sandcastle contest in the pouring rain. That was followed by a barbecue at a restaurant called Sidney's with a reggae band. The day was exhausting, but also very exciting.

Playing with Kids on Jost Van Dyke and Making Turk's Head
Author: Johan
Location: Jost Van Dyke and Cane Garden Bay
Today was a really great day. After oatmeal, we sailed to Jost Van Dyke where we played with some of the local kids. We got to play with some of them in the water, which was a nice change of pace. Another cool part of the day was learning a complicated knot called the running turk's head, which we used to make bracelets. We also saw a traditional caribbean sloop that was being built by the Jost Van Dyke Preservation Society and some of the local highschoolers. We met the infamous Foxy and he was hilarious. He spoke in poetry and told many jokes. Right now, I am sitting on deck enjoying the sunset and listening to the Beatles. Life could not be much better.

YEP Turtling and BBQ
Author: Jon
Location: Muskmellon Bay, Trellis Bay, Lee Bay, Monkey Point, and Sommer's Beach
We had a rushded morning to meet the kids from YEP (Youth Empowerment Project) to go turtling. We showed the YEP kids how to turtle. Johan spotted one, I chased it, and Dan (despite getting bitten) grabbed it. It was nice because we got to show it to Ace and to YEP. Later in the evening we had team building games on the beach and a BBQ with Action Quest.
