· I can bake anything from scratch; I make a mean
pan of granola!
· I can jump out of bed at 5:30 am and have
breakfast ready for a camp full of people by 6 am
· Kitchen duty is not my favourite duty
I was sitting down to breakfast the other morning and looked
down at my meal. I realized I had made everything; the bread, the cereal and even
the milk! Granted, mixing powder and water might not count as ‘making’ but
still…
The new five week bunch of volunteers who are studying
corals have finished up with their workshops and coral spots and they have all
passed their coral exams with flying colors. Soon they’ll be joining us ten
weekers with the survey work that’s been coming along well. We can’t wait for
their help!
While drinking on base on a Friday night, Tina and Scott
decided that they’d hike to Beau Vallon… at 1am… They took a compass with them.
On Saturday morning at 9am they trudged back into base and said that after 7
hours of hiking, they’d ended up on Secret Beach! That’s all, that’s as far as
they got; they must have been going in circles! They had to stash their stuff on
Secret Beach and swim back to base in their clothes and shoes. They then had to
get some dry bags and swim back to Secret Beach, get their stuff, and swim back
to base again. Moral of their story, don’t go hiking at 1am when you’re drunk! Greg,
Norma, Nimah and Orla managed to hike the six hours to Beau Vallon from Cap
Ternay on Saturday. Big congratulations to them for finding the path! Laughs!
On Tuesday I went with Hazel, Alice, Antonia, Haftor, Kim
and Emma to Port Launay for the last lesson of Class 5H from the International
School Seychelles. We played Bingo, Jeopardy and fish-fish-shark among other
games. It was a fun filled morning for all.
Friday night’s theme party was hosted by the Brazilian
Brothers, Adriano and Thomas. The dress code was strict – you had to wear
either yellow or green. Surprisingly everyone managed to pull it off with our
limited amount of clothing we have here! There were Brazilian drinks, treats,
music and of course dancing!
