Planting Mangroves and VISAR Rescue

Author: Liz
Location: West End, Haver's, Little Harbor Peter
Right when we got up this morning, we went to West End to meet up with Nancy and two other women with the National Parks. Before anyone could actually plant the mangrove seedlings, however, Elliot, Devon, Chelsea M., and I had to go back to the dock, get a bucket off the boat, and pick seedlings from the mangroves to put in the pipes. We then returned to the Haver's sight, where the rest of the crew had finished putting the pipes in the ground. When we were done with mangrove planting and went back to the dock, we were going to get water, but the water had no pressure so it was decided that we would have another day of conserving water. Tomorrow will be day 6! We were also missing a prop, which Mike had to fix. After we ate our lunch from shore and got back on the boat, we set sail to Peter Island. VISAR, Virgin Island Search and Rescue, came and took care of Elliot's broken leg and Claire's broken arm, which other shipmates painted on - FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY! They both then got to ride in the VISAR boat. Everyone wanted to ride in it because it was really fast (450 horsepower). Last, we had mexican food for dinner.
