I slept like a rock! The slow rocking of the boat isn't enough to make my stomach queasy, but it was enough to zonk me right out. I woke up, and only one of my two roommates were even in the room -- and she woke up about five minutes after I did. I came up from my stateroom and there were researchers already milling about. When do these people sleep?
Today's going to be a busy one. After breakfast, they're going to be deploying a five-chambered net called a mocness off the side of the boat. They want to catch plankton and other little things that the corals and fish eat.
What's so interesting is that it's all science all the time on the boat. There's no alcohol allowed, just lots of coffee and bodies slouched over microscopes and tiny portable video recorders. The boat's crew is really nice -- and they're always working too!
The sun's about to rise. Everyone have a great day!
