A 14 Shark Kinda Day

Yup, I saw 13 black tip reef sharks and 1 wobbegong today and not one of them bit me! Its been dumping rain here the last two days on Heron, which kinda makes ocean research a little bit difficult. We didn't drown but I did drink 5 gallons of sea water.  Today was a productive day of working on our group project. We analysed all of our data and started to put together our presentation.
Also a bird pooped on me today. I'm starting to think that they might be out to get me. We watched the craziest swarm of thousands of birds dance around the sky this evening over the ocean. It was probably one of the coolest things I've seen. So I guess I can forgive them for now. 
On our morning swim this morning I did a cool spin move when I jumped off the dock. I think I only impressed the fish. Parrot fish are my favorite because they are so colorful and have gnarly beaks that they use to chomp the coral. Also I think something weird may have stung my leg. It's been kinda numb and tingly all day. No worries though I'm still kickin and ready to jump in tomorrow morning at 6am!

    Hi I'm Rachel Chamberlain, I'm studying Conservation Restoration Ecology at USU. I love to run, snowboard, and play with doggos. I am so excited to swim with the fishes here at Heron.
