Brielle S. - 2007-07-04

Today was a very productive day. We got to wake up late (7:45!). We then made pancakes for breakfast and everyone dressed up in red, white and blue. After breakfast, we sailed off to the most beautiful secluded island called Sandy Cay. After anchoring, we dinghied to shore and cleaned up the coast of the island. Then after a nice break at the beach, we headed back to the boat for PB and J. BUT, we realized that there was a shortage of jelly and eggs (we wanted to make cake tonight). So we sent 4 shipmates on a hunt for eggs and jelly. They stopped at 3 ActionQuest boats and got what we needed. We sailed to West End where we anchored and walked down the shore to a place where past Lifeworkers planted mangroves. We monitored their growth while getting stuck in the 'quicksand' mud. That was fun! So finally after a long and muddy day it was time for showers and dinner and perhaps some fireworks for the end of a great day.
