2013 Week 2

We had such as busy day today that everyone went to bed before posting blogs. From coral replanting to night snorkeling, we did it all. They will be back tomorrow night to update you and include some pictures! Tomorrow is a 2 tank dive on the RMS Rhone - an annual favorite!

Video footage of our time at the beautiful Savannah Bay and Turtle Tagging with Dr. Gore!

Today we woke up and pretty immediately made our way down to the Internet cafe for a breakfast of massive donuts and an introduction to turtle snagging from Dr. Gore. We learned about their migration patterns as well as some of the history of "turtleology" (I'm told that's the technical term). After that, the group split up into our...

I woke up at the same time as yesterday and the morning routine in the cabin was also the same. Breakfast was great, and we learned a bit about turtles (mainly loggerheads, green, and hawksbill) and their characteristics by Dr. Gore.

Dr. Gore debriefed is on everything to know about turtles. I think I can finally determine whether a turtle is green...

The day began similarly to yesterday in that we didn't have to wake up to the sound of a rooster. We then went back to the main building to have doughnuts that could have passed for tires. During breakfast, Dr. Gore came to give a presentation over turtles and the importance of the tagging. We then split into boat...

So I think yesterday was my sisters birthday, and before I write my blog, I need to say Happy Birthday! Hope I got the day right this time, even if I was late in saying anything. Now back to me. Waking up this morning went way better than yesterday, since I know everyone reading was waiting to find out. But...
