New Month, New Faces, Big Excitement

The start of a new month (for us the middle of the month) brings new faces to fill the spaces of those who left. Three new volunteers arrived Monday morning to replace the one who left while bringing a much anticipated shipment of food. Although the volunteer who left had to do so prematurely due to an accident involving popcorn, it was nice to get new faces around the lab. During their second night on Bimini, many stories were shared among all of the volunteers while enjoying a warm bonfire on the beach.

With much anticipation, the adrenaline-rush activities run hand-in-hand with the start of a new month. We will be having a shark dive in the near future and the 24-hour long line starting tomorrow afternoon. With Great Hammer Heads making their way through the Bahamas this time of year I am very excited about the possibility of seeing one and hopefully getting in the water with one. Unfortunately during the last long line I was on the boat that caught the 254cm tiger shark and was unable to swim with it. During this long line I am hoping we catch at least one tiger shark and have the chance to get some good pictures fromthe water.
