Another day on shore for me

Sabina and Paul went out this morning to deploy the GoPro to record how fish are interacting with the caged and uncaged tiles. I decided to give my ankle another day of rest. Here is a photo captured by the GoPro as a blacktip reef shark swam by. The caged and uncaged tiles are in the background.

For some reason there was a desire for fresh coconut. Skipper Joel instructed Paul on the finer points of opening a coconut with a machete.

I am going to leave the caption for the photo below up to your imagination.

Sabina and Paul

Today Sabina, Paul, and I were on clean-up duty. After dinner we helped clean the kitchen. Paul is easily entertained by the commercial spring kitchen faucet. I suggest the Micheli lab at Hopkins Marine Station install one of these in their kitchen area so Paul will take care of all the dirty dishes.

Sadly, the new ceiling fans in the galley did not last very long. We were worried that someone would hit one with the mop handle as they were cleaning the floor. Instead it hit Robbie's arm as he was stretching. Robbie is OK, but the fan is not.

We had our first half way decent sunset since our arrival.
