Woke up today and found out yet again the weather was not good enough to go off shore to do water sampling with Keith. Alternatively, Tom and I headed out to the rapid site off Cook's Bay to deploy a video camera to observe which fish are feeding on the algae we deployed yesterday. We also removed a set of tiles to be processed in the lab to determine algal recruitment and growth over short periods of days. When we came back, we set up the lab for the tiles and weighed some more ash free dry weight boats. After lunch, Tom and I went out to the reef crest again to collect algae. I took a few cool photos including one of a spiky sea cucumber. When we got back the day was done and I headed off to plan more of my trip with my downtime. Tonight we had calzones for dinner which weren't half bad. Sat around and had some coconut ice cream after with our Hinano beer and socialized before peeling off to bed. Now I am considering waking up early to do some work on my Fulbright application so I think I'm going to pass out. Until later.
