Day 6: Beach Clean-up, Night Patrol and Snorkeling


Hello everyone following this blog! Our adventures on the island of St. Kitts have reached their halfway mark. Oriana arrived this afternoon, which means that all members of the group have arrived on the island and we are feeling more like a full group. We started our day yesterday with our second beach trash clean up. Trash often plagues the local marine life, giving us all the more motivation to pick up as much as we can. Later in the day, we went to Marshall’s to have a splendid dinner accompanied by an unparalleled view of the Caribbean Sea. Our beach walk was not as eventful as the night before, and despite a few close calls with rain we made it through the night.

This morning we started out our day with a snorkel tour around our hotels local waters. Although there was not a lot to see we still had fun and made the best of the situation. We were able to get a few good pictures of the small fish that inhabit the local coral and rocks.

As the trip continues, we are keeping our fingers crossed that we might come across another turtle in the near future!
