Not a whole lot has changed since the last post. Not much has been done in the way of work. The plant work has started but I'm not in that group. They got five plots done on Wednesday and had to stop due to plans for Wednesday night and yesterday it rained and stormed all day so it was unsafe for them to go out. I'm just waiting on people to finish their portions of data entry so I can finish up mine. In the way of work that's about all I've got.
However, Wednesday night was quite the experience. We took a trip out to a BioBay where we got to experience water that glows, well not really. What happens is there is a dinoflagellate in the water that is bioluminescent when disturbed, so as you paddle your kayak or move your hand in the water throughout this particular bay the water around you glows from the dinoflagellates. To get to the bay we paddled a short distance through a boatyard and then through the mangroves until finally reaching the bay itself. after arriving there we had a short meeting explaining what goes on and we were free to paddle around the bay until dark when we had to rejoin our tour group for another meeting about why the water glows and what sets it apart from other parts of the world. It's definitely an experience worth paying for if you ever have the opportunity.
