Today we went out to the fore reef again to go and secure the coral cages by putting in eye-bolts for securing the cages to the bottom. Four of us went out in two teams to do the drilling and cementing. It went really quickly and we got it done a lot faster than we thought. There was a bit of confusion because we hadn't established which group was doing which plots for the second dive. By the time Andy and I got down on the second dive we only had to do one plot which was nice. When I got back to the station, there wasn't a whole lot more to do so I ended up doing data entry for the rest of the day. When the late afternoon rolled around, this rainstorm came in right as we were preparing to do my coral pictures on Gump. They ended up turning out better than most days because the clouds blocked out the excess light that often whites out my pictures since I use a flash. After that was done, we the day was done and we packed it in. I worked on my Fulbright until dinner and after dinner until I went to bed. We had brucetta for dinner with noodles and this tomato based sauce that were all delicious. Now I got to go to bed because I have to get up early to go to the store. Until later.
