2014 Week 1

Whoa! These past few days have been pretty crazy and very busy but it's all done and now it's time to let you all know what has been going on down here. Yesterday was a very tiring day. Once we all got up and boarded the boat, we were told that we would be turtle tagging. This is when...

This morning started off slightly different than other days as nature did not awake the Frangipani house in its usual form of a wild bird. But when the cabin did come alive for another day of excitement, we hustled off to a hot breakfast at the marina and quickly filed onto our respective dive boats. The R.M.S. Rhone was...

Day 4 started very bright and early for Jack and me. Alarms blaring at 6, Jack woke me up and we both put on our running clothes in a groggy haze.

As always, it was delicious and filling, enough to where I wasn't hungry again until lunch time. After breakfast, we hopped onto the boat and went to our first dive...

Today (or should I say yesterday?) followed the now typical routine of an early rise, gear gathering, and a plentiful breakfast at the marina. Breakfast was passed by discussing manly things and gawking at the CNN ticker running on the TV. Once we were sufficiently stuffed, we traversed the treacherous 20 yards of flat ground over to the office,...

We had a very busy day today - so busy that the guys went to bed a bit early and will not be blogging tonight. The guys will fill-in the details, but I want to give a quick teaser on what we did today. The Marine Biology 1 guys went turtle tagging and were able to catch one large hawksbill...
