I don't really have much to add, just classes have started up again and we are at sea until next Sunday, March 25. I am so excited for India though. After that, we will only have like 2 and three day stretches at sea between ports. I am very excited for that. I have a feeling after India the rest of the voyage is going to fly by. It kind of already has. Our first day in India is our half way point. Tonight was the Explorer Talent Competition. I thought it was jus...

So, today was the Sea Olympics. What is that you may ask? Well on the ship, all the cabins are divided up into different sections called 'seas.'

Other sections have different names such as the Baltic Sea, Aegean Sea, etc. Even the faculty and staff had a sea with a total of 10 seas competing. We did events such as tug of war, photo scavenger hunt, slippery twis...

I fell up the stairs and ...

There is this island that is just covered in seals! They were so cute! Very stinky, but ver...

So, the day started at 4:30am when I woke up to get ready. Our shuttle came at 5:30am and it was about a 2 and a half hour drive to where we were gonna be cage diving. There were 6 people from SAS altogether with our group. We got to the place, it was this little house on the water and it was so beautiful. They had breakfast all ready for us, and we were able eat and wake up. Most of the people slept on the way there, but I rode shotgun so I stayed awake the whol...
