August 26th Day 65

Work today in general was really slow. I did data entry for the majority of the day. Later on in the day, Keith took Brett, Katrina and I out to a underwater wall site where we will be leading a boat dive in the next few days. The site is on the fringing reef against the island the coral drops off from about 6 feet to around 60 feet in about 30 yards distance. I had never been there before so we snorkeled to get familiar with the site before we lead our boat dive. After that we got back and Brett and I started to get our SCUBA gear together to go dive Gump to take photos of the coral. While we were gathering our stuff, Andy swam into site of the dock from Gump Reef and was yelling at us for help. He was saying that he lost his buddy and that he couldn't find him. At first we were not sure if it was a joke but when we looked at Keith, we knew that it was a dive master related drill. Brett, Katrina, and I all asked him questions about what his buddy was wearing and where he last saw him. We got into the water and started searching for this lost buddy. Brett ended up finding a six pack of Hinano with my sandals zip-tied to it fitting the description given by Andy. We all had a good laugh when we brought the "victim" up to the surface. After a quick discussion about what we did with Keith, Brett and I did the Gump dive. Once we finished I came in to do some work before we had sushi for dinner. Keith had bought some blue fin tuna steaks at the store so that we could roll it into sushi. It was super good to eat that fresh of sushi. It was also nice to be reacquainted with wasabi which I haven't had any of since before I arrived in French Polynesia. After dinner we enjoyed each others company by having a few drinks and socializing for a while. I decided to leave at 10 however to go up the hill to watch the New Zealand vs. Australia rugby game with Prinz. I had never watched a rugby game before but I really enjoyed learning about it by watching it. I could definitely understand how football came from rugby. The New Zealand team ended up loosing 25-20 which was a bummer because Prinz's family is from New Zealand and him and his friend were rooting for the New Zealand team. The game lasted two hours and by the time I got back down the hill it was past two in the morning. I have to get up early tomorrow to go grocery shopping so I think I am going to go to bed. Until later.
