Location: Great Harbor, Peter Island

Hi, everyone. It’s day nine of Hagen Time. Today, we started with bagels and yogurt for breakfast, and it was good. Then we got ready to go turtle tagging! We started at the main reef in Mountain Point; we saw a turtle in the first minute. Augusta went down and tried to get it, but it was too fast. After we finished at the main reef, we moved on to the dive reef, where we didn’t see any turtles, but we did see squid, sting rays, and lots of fish. We headed back to the boat for lunch, which was grilled cheese made by Riley. Once Addison and Prentice finished cleaning up, we got ready to sail to a new spot and, at the same time, got a much-needed nap. Then Addy and Violet got dinner ready, it was Mexican night and we had delicious tacos. We prepared for the Visar training where we had to act a emergency situation out; during which we all acted wild and laughed our butts off. The overall point of the training was to prepare them for actual situations. As the sun set, we all rafted (multiple boats attached to each other) and interacted with people from other boats. Augusta and Hayes made really burnt brownies, but we still ate them and appreciated the effort. We met this girl named Alanna and hung out until we all had to go to bed. It was a good day. Love and miss my family:)-Grace
