Everyone is coughing today. It is like a cacophony of coughs. So far, I’m still untouched. Knock wood. Maybe it is because I got the flu shot in October.
Pirjo sat on the boat this morning because her ears won't clear. I am so sad for her. She kept good spirits and even did a Go Pro video as we came up from the dive.
On the first dive I found something weird and interesting I thought was a nudi but it turns out is a limpet: Scutus sinensis.
We also found boxer crabs. The last one was dancing, swaying its pom poms from side to side.
On the second dive I went to go snoot a frogfish and everything get set up ok but then the strobe wasn’t firing. Ugh. Then after we got back to the resort, I tried again and it seemed to work fine. WTF?
We also found this colony of brown teddy bear looking nudis. Vie Panyarachun thinks they are possibly a Hallaxa.
I finished my series “The Big C” on Netflix with Laura Linney. I liked it. She wanted her last words to be “Lucky Me”. I like it.
At the end of the night dive I snooted several things. It was so tough. I was able to get everything set up, but then I just handed it up that way to the boat guys. I did not disassemble it.
Mona and I started talking about Snooting like a Lady at dinner… and one of the guests confirmed what was in my head… that “Dude looks like a Lady” by Aerosmith is the theme song for this. “Snoot it like a Lady”
Mona also told a story about how she got stung by a man o’ war in the Maldives. How awful. But of course I asked if she saw the Glaucus atlanticus in there.
