I feel like I should put up a photo or two on what we've been up to since last September. A big one for me was going to French Polynesia (Tahiti and neighboring islands) with my family over Christmas. Many of the fish and inverts are very similar to what we see at Midway, so my family was very impressed with me! I learned a lot about pearl oysters and pearl farms because we visited about 4 pearl farms that are using black-lipped pearl oysters just like I study at Midway. Here's a photo of me with a lot of pearl oyster shells, but I also snorkeled at a pearl farm! Also, here are photos of my brother Kevin and I enjoying the sunshine and a fish we never see in Hawaii - anemonefish (similar to Nemo!) on an anemone!
Funny story: The other day, I was buying GPS bags at West Marine and happened to ask if they had desiccant to put in our underwater camera cases. The manager was extremely nice and helped me look thru all their shoeboxes to find it for free - I ended up collecting about 30! That should last us a year or two!
I will definitely put up some photos from Wendy's presentation and more info on our travels to Midway soon, so keep your eyes on this space! I'll probably start doing once or twice weekly blogs once we get to Midway in a few weeks.
