I have just begun my algae samples. They look… small and not extraordinary.

Picking up with the blog after the hurricane

This post jumps back several weeks to when i had just returned from my first extended boat trip.

9/8/10

Home again after four more days at sea. The world is rocking and it amazes me how many ants and other living creatures are crawling around. Did not sleep very well, I was trying to protect myself from the insect life that thrives in my room, but ended up being stifled by the heat.

Hurricane has passed

The skys are blue, the air smells green like spring, but the internet is for all intensive purposes out. Safe and sound!

is there still an eye?

Evidently we're in the center of things now but the internet is still up and really, very little damage has been done besides a few branches and plant debris AT the BIOS station. It feels like a very very windy day at the beach. The excitement has died down prematurely to the winds and now people are sitting around watching movies and trying to stay busy until the winds really end.

News sources online say that there has been significant damage to the Southern end of Bermuda and I know that even while we have a back up generator, a great number of Bermudians are currently out of power.

Still Pre Hurricane

Well, while the winds have picked up, Igor has slowed down. It is now a category one, which after all the hype about 3s and 4s doesn't seem like much at all. It is extremely windy out and everyone is staying indoors because there are tornado watches. Now we wait to see what it might be like around the eye wall which is still several hours away. Perhaps I will have internet then, too!?
