Miserable Weather

Day 22 & 23: I would put up a picture, but I don't think anyone wants to see us crying. We've had a string of absolutely horrendous days again and have managed to capture ... 7 videos in two days! Awful. Nothing else I can write will make it any better. Hopefully tomorrow ...

Sea-Stars, II

Day 21: We watched many videos today & Nicole found two sea-stars.

Buddy & Barge

Day 20: We made it to Buddy and Barge today!!! These are two cays that we've been having trouble getting to. It seemed like every time the tides were high enough to get there, storms would roll in. In our exuberance, we swam in a nice little cove after our day of work. And Nicole also claims she saw two camels ... but she says they didn't have humps or long necks & they were small (maybe dog-sized?). Too much sun if you ask me. 

Hecho de Papel

Day 19: We are made of paper. We don't like the rain because it makes us wet paper -- and then we can tear easily and anything written on us will smear. Today was, as far as I'm concerned, spectacular. Got some morning and evening boating in, ate a pizza, shopped. Tomorrow is Labor Day. To celebrate we will work ...

Alex's Tuna

Day 18: Not an awful day. After a morning of lizarding, we went back to our place during storms/low tide. Since Shirley was cleaning the apartment, I thought it'd be a nice change of pace to eat lunch at a local restaurant. Alex had a tuna burger and almost immediately turned bright red. He is better now (transcribing videos while I type) after a litre of Pedia-lite (an electrolyte-packed beverage for toddlers, for those of you in the dark) and some delicious soup.

And a Nicole update: She noosed a male anole in 4.667 seconds today ... I would say that makes her an expert lizard catcher! Wouldn't you?!?

Puffer-fishing

Day 17: Mediocre day. Nothing much to report. Some good weather, some bad. Lots of Radio Abaco. The only real incident of note was Nicole's attempt(s) to catch a puffer-fish. She first tried by hand (no luck), then with a milk jug (shockingly, still no luck). Pretty hilarious. I guess I also made a toddler fall and cry, but it's not something I'm particularly proud of. Time for dinner, more tomorrow.

Finally...

Days 15 & 16: The last two days have been much better than expected. We managed to get out on the water for ~1.5 hours yesterday and ~4.5 hours today. That equals ~50 videos, which equals excitement for the Chipojo Lab. Supposedly this storm system is moving out of here, so things are beginning to look up. Alex's hands still look gross, and Nicole filmed anoles copulating this evening. Can't get any better than that.
