Today began, as always, with morning exercise. The community gathered together for a “modified run-swim.” We all ran to the marina and swam the current cut, got out of the water and ran back up to the bridge to succumb to Nick’s intense mini-psycho. Afterward we did Continue reading →

Today was a regular Thursday schedule. Even though nothing unexpected happened, students were busy studying for math “game day” and finishing memorizing slides for their Marine Eco. fish ID quizzes. I keep thinking about how great yesterday was and how fun this weekend is going to be. My advisory experienced the world of underwater rock carrying for Continue reading →

Yesterday, “an adventure day” according to Maxey, was busy and exciting. Two Marine Eco classes took scuba trips to the aquaculture cage, Continue reading →

Yesterday was another odd schedule. The mailboat trip was unexpectadly rescheduled so half of the students  (avifauna and reef fish) left campus at around 5:30 a.m. for one of Remo’s “mini-adventures.” The other students (sea turtles and land crabs) started Continue reading →

Instead, the communtiy was divided; half of us went on our first Mailboat while the other half had classes and Querencia. The Mailboat departed from Rock Sound and traveled north to Continue reading →

Monday was a regular day of classes and we accomplished a lot, as always. We woke up at 6:15 and got a pebble at circle. Then we had run or swim tracks. For run track, we ran either four miles or a little over five with the extended loop, doing interval sprints. Swim Continue reading →
