We went out today right away to the Rapid site outside Cook's to do some plot photos. When we got out there it looked much like it did the day before so we called it off. We came back in to drop off the camera and then headed back out to go do fish surveys on the plots. When you don't have to carry a giant camera rig, it isn't so bad to dive in dicey conditions so that is what we did. It was great for me because all I had to do was be Andy's buddy so I was able to just cruise around and be a tourist for 2 dives. I took a ton of pictures. After that was over it was the early afternoon which gave me a chance to deploy my coral tiles. I put them out along the same transect where the anemone survey is done and it went well for the most part. It was nice not having to worry about securing them that much because there is no current or surge here in the lagoon. After they were deployed the day was pretty much over. Steph and I were supposed to lead a night dive tonight for dive master but the wind was up and the conditions were deemed to not be good enough. Instead I helped Mike make lasagna for dinner which was really good. We made it with eggs which I have never done before but I think it really turned out well. I would certainly do it again. After dinner, I came upstairs to work until I got tired. Now I am going to go to bed. Until later.
