Mike has a weird love for Tom Jones… he keeps singing and
playing “It’s so unusual to be loved by anyone…”
I had to admit I was
powerless to Mike and Gordon. I came
clean that my charger just wasn’t plugged in.
Alas, today was another trying day.
The first two dives were AWESOME. At Kirby Rock and Bethlehem.
The boat engine died… but they got us a new one, smaller but
fine – it gets the job done.
Then when I was loading my pictures to Lightroom, something
became corrupted and like half my photos from the morning dive have been
lost. Ugh.
I spent all evening restoring my Lightroom catalog and
figuring out how to get myself back in business. All is good now, but I lost about 100 photos
and a day’s worth of time for identifying and editing!
I picked up a hint from Pirjo… bring a memory card for every
day and then don’t delete pictures from the cards until I’m home. A little pricey, but actually not a bad idea
to ensure I don’t lose photos again.
When I put on my hood for the afternoon dive, I felt
something funny in it and quickly flicked my hand out. The biggest cockroach ever came flying
out. Ewww!
On the night dive, I checked my air about 45 minutes in and
it was already down to 600 PSI. How
could that be!?!?!? I was bummed. I got a few last species in before going up
to the boat. I was the first one on
it. That never happens. When Glenn (our divemaster) got into the boat
he said that my tank was leaking. OK,
now that makes sense. It wasn’t just me
sucking down air.
Here are the species on the saved photos:
I found it amazing that the genital aperture is the same coloring as the rhinophores and gills!
That round thing with the whiskers is its mouth opening and closing. I got some video and will try to post.
