Today we left Tortola and sailed to Norman Island. Norman Island is another island in the British Virgin Island. There where no homes that we saw just a beach bar and a lot of tourist. These tourists came here by boat and not a cruise boat but either a charter boat or their own boats. When we dropped the anchor we all got ready to either go snorkeling or work on our rocky intertidal project. Ashley, Jasmine and I went with Nettie to do our intertidal projects and we had a lot of fun. The intertidal here is very different from in California. We found a huge hermit crab that had mostly crawled out of its shell, various species of sea urchins and well hidden chitons. After we collected some information for our projects we went back on the boat to get ready for a nice hike. When we first started to walk up Spyglass Hill, we found out that it was not going to be a very easy hike. It went straight up a rocky path. We had to take at least four breaks because we got very tired but when we got up there it was so worth the hard work climbing up that mountain we got to see the view for miles and miles. We saw Tortola, Virgin Gorda and many more of the Virgin Islands.
