Today we got to Great Inagua in the Bahamas. When we got here we cleaned up the ship and had a swim call before we went on land. I have never swam in such clear water than we did today.

Once we were done and ready we left to meet our tour guide, Colin. He took us to the light house were previous Tall Ship Girls had come and visited. The view from up on top of the light house was great. We could practically see the whole island and a lot of the beautiful clear water. We even saw a shark when we were up there.

After the light house we went to see the Morton Salt Plant were we got to see how salt was made and where it came from. We got to see some pink salt lakes that are pink because of the shrimp that live in them. After seeing and touching some salt in the salt lakes we got to go see some flamingos. We saw a couple of them is was really cool because some of us have never seen flamingos in our lives besides pictures of them. On the drive back to the boat a lot of us fell asleep. We were really tired but excited to be here!
