That's a Wrap

Well, today I start my long journey home.  Alor to Kupang.  Kupang to Jakarta.  Jakarta to Tokyo.  Tokyo to Chicago.

This has been a pretty epic trip.  I think we ended up with such a good nudi count because Pirjo was here too.

Here are the stats:

233 Unique Species of Nudibranchs.  Although I went fast and made some mistakes, so once I go through everything again, this number may change.

We kept finding new nudis every day.  I think there were only a few dives where I didn’t find a new species.

I'm trying a new thing where I am keeping track of a Life List of Nudis so I can tell which ones are new for me in life.  For this trip to Alor, here are the 19 new ones:

• Aegires exeches
• Aldisa williamsi
• Chromodoris sp. 12
• Chromodoris sp. 14
• Dendrodoris carbunculosa
• Dermatobranchus sp. 18
• Elysia sp. 15
• Eubranchus sp. 17
• Goniobranchus sinensis
• Goniodoris sp. 6
• Goniodoris sp. 7
• Haminoea ovalis
• Hypselodoris paradisa
• Hypselodoris yarae
• Mexichromis similaris
• Platydoris inframaculata
• Tenellia sp. 76
• Thorunna australis
• Verconia varians

I did 59 Dives bringing me to a lifetime total of 2249.

Until next time!
