Marci update

Wow, is it hot. And beautiful. And hot. We've had very little breeze and very calm waters for most of our stay so far. A mixed blessing: the still waters are great for the boat deployments, but the lack of breeze is a beatdown. Yesterday morning, we boated around to the lagoon for our environmental deployment - I kayaked while we were waiting on samples! Okay, so the water was only a foot deep, and I only got about 10 feet out... But still. Kayaked, yay! This afternoon is our last day of data work. And just in the nick of time. We are all starting to show heavy signs of wear & tear. But tomorrow is a free day, and I already have a spot on the dock earmarked for a lazy day. Can't wait! And then we're home again on Sunday. Really really really looking forward to an ice cold beverage and a hot shower...
