FATHOMS Science Camp Marine Biologist Log Day 7
By Audrey G., SeaTrek BVI FATHOMS student Our first activity of the day was a hike at The Baths, a famous BVI location. We had to pull up our anchor by hand, and even though our FATHOMS lead Anna did most of it, we all still enjoyed the thrill. We finally made it to The […]
