I woke up at 6 today. Getting better at sleeping in. I went for a walk around the island and found a brick in the sand. I don't know any myths about finding bricks in the sand but I should look them up because I may have just set something in motion without knowing it. On my walk I also saw an eagle ray jump in the air! They look hilarious flapping in the air as they jump. We had breakfast and then an ID test for fish, corals, etc. I had a 50.5/51 because I said Sea Cucumber instead of Giant Sea Cucumber. Not bad considering my bad memory. We had lunch and then we went to the outer reef for some snorkel sessions. The outer reef was very cool. Lots of fish and turtles and I even saw a white tip reef shark go right past a turtle. I can't seem to post videos but I did happen to catch that moment with the turtle and white tip. Ask me to see it when you see me next! I think my wet suit is one size too small because it keeps exchanging water and not holding onto it so I get cold quick. I don't think a smaller wet suit would be tall enough for me anyways so I am just screwed, yay tall and skinny! Today the rain and clouds stopped and it was clear with lots of sunshine. It really helped my cold get better with the sunshine and brought my spirits up. The stars last night were amazing and I saw 2 shooting stars and a satellite. I am sure they will be even better tonight with the clouds all gone.

About MeI am the guy whose name is on the top there. I am a student who graduated with a BA from USU this year and finally gave in to Dr. Atwood's pestering to go on her Heron Island Class for coral reefs. People often call me really sassy and unhappy. What they don't know is that my resting face is angry, but I am usually pretty happy. ArchivesCategories |
