Hanging out on the helipad:

Some of us sitting on the helipad in the sun.

Suddenly a wild Joe appears.  

This morning Meaghan and I went out to the reef to try and collect some data for our research project. The wind and the waves made it tough to do this and it even broke our quadrat we were using. After lunch we decided to go out again with our new PVC pipe quadrat with greater success. Once we came back to shore we decided to join some of the others who were sitting on the helipad and relaxing after they went out earlier. We were all having fun, hanging out and talking when Joe and Amber came back from their snorkel. Joe started an algae fight with us [Ed: I'd prefer to call it a pop Algae Identification Quiz] and was doing some nice impressions of the little mermaid by throwing his hair back out of the water. Even with these projects we are doing we still manage to find some free time to have fun.
