I slept in until almost 4am. I worked on the nudis and I am now at 198. I just need to find one more to meet my goal. I have five more days to get 35 more and I could beat the 2023 record.
I learned that Mona can do a perfect imitation of a gecko. It is quite impressive.
This morning’s first two dives were SO COLD. 76 degrees. We went in search of mola molas after in the rain and I just closed my eyes and dreamed of a hot shower. We didn’t find any mola mola, so I got my wish.
Check out these two Hypselodoris tryoni slime trailing:
There are two slugs on the same rock every afternoon on the house reef. I am going to start calling them Cliff and Norm… from Cheers.
On the night dive, Pirjo and I took pictures of a Crocodile Snake Eel and several fish nearby kept bumping into us. And one of them "played dead" and seemed to be paralyzed. Not even a minute later, it woke up and swam about its business.
I started watching Season 2 of the Ted Danson series Man on the Inside. I am also pushing forward with The Big Year book.
Instead of a sorbet dessert at dinner I opted for a ginger tea. I cannot shake this very cold feeling.
I had to charge my dive computer overnight again. This is a long trip!
