Wow this week was so fun and crazy, but in a good way. As you should know this is second to last week on land. Its finally hitting everybody that it’s real; this is really happing to us. When we were told we were going to have gear check for the first time, everybody looked at each other in shock like we leaving soon. It’s funny because every girl in the room signed up to be here, and we knew we were going to go to the Caribbean for 6 weeks, but I don’t think it ever really hit us tuntil this week. All of us have very mixed emotions about leaving and going away for 6 weeks, but we all could agree that we are really excited.
This week we also went down to Hyde Street Pier for our first day of sailing. It was really fun, but hard work at the same time. We learned how to put the little sails on the sail boats and how to steer the boat (it’s harder than it sounds, trust me.). This is the first actual time that we needed navigation on the water, and sadly I don’t think it’s the last, but that’s okay. We also learned some more terms for the boat. It’s like a whole different language but you get use to it after a while. You can see the girls and how much they enjoy it by the smiles on our faces. Even if it was cold we still had fun. Also this was the first week we had school on Saturday, and you know us teenagers love our weekends, but we all had great attitudes and we did what we had to do and had fun doing it.
After this week and all the exciting things we’ve gone through, we are ready for this trip!
