The day started with some rain and boat weighing. Wasn't incredibly exciting but it had to be done. Once we got through the boats and filters we made our way out to the Rapid's plot outside of Cook's Bay. Tom had to take pictures of the coral cages we had just got done deploying to check for any accidental mortality from our handling of them. While he did that, I got a chance to collect some corals for my experiment. I did a decent job getting corals by myself. Once we got in I grabbed one of the assistants to help me chip the corals so that they could be fastened to the tiles I am going to use. We got done with a third of the corals before we got off work early to go to the public beach. On our way it started to rain and by the time we got there, the rain was pretty steady. We made a few drinks and stood in the water while it rained on us. After a while the rain subsided and a few of us took out our cameras to get pictures of the sunset. While the sun was going down, I did a bit of a sunset swim. It was incredible to just swim in the water while practically dark and not be any way cold. It seemed to be warmer in the water than out. Despite that getting out was still not bad and I dried off faster than I would have thought. After the beach we headed over to the snack cart to have dinner. Our entire cooking group went and as usual it was delicious. We then came back and I was feeling really tired. I read for a bit before bed and now I am getting super tired. Until later.
