Waking up later (at 6:30) for an exclusive
Stormy weather - thunderstorms, lots of rain; many other boats cancelled their morning trip
Preparing everything as usual, boating out
Weather now letting up a little, just raining
No swimsuit, bra and compression shorts, getting into a small wetsuit, having Jan shake me into it, not being able to move
Jumping into the cage
Water was really cold - about 11 degrees
Seeing a lot of sharks
Started raining again, then thunderstorming; still in the cage like nbd
Seal! all wanted her to get nailed by a shark but she was really smart; swimming by their tails, just playing and spinning around; following three sharks around, lots of big ones
Boating back, not fully dressed, don't think I've ever felt colder before
Going up to the house in all of my wet clothes
About to do data but then being told there is another trip
Getting ready to go out again
Seeing some sharks again; a couple of close encounters by the stern while chumming
Riding back at the bow with Grant and Ally and B; joking around, feeling like part of the team, also realizing how quickly I will be leaving
Coming back, cleaning the boat, unloading wetsuits
Throwing towels at Jan, him not appreciating it teehee
Becoming best friends with Grant!!! whoohoo learning how to fuel the boat
Cleaning the deck, etc.; when getting down from the boat, Mandla asked me to remove the hose; no problem right? Describe the hose arrangement. I turn the hose left, as Mandla told me, and remove it from the faucet; bam! lots and lots of water to the face; can't figure out how to shut off the water supply, screaming for Mandla to help; Grant walks by laughing "are you making everyone wet?"
Walking back to the house drenched; Paul laughing at me when I walk in
Showering, not being able to find my stuff because Cindy came and cleaned
Lecture on shark attacks; finding out about Julia knowing only one case where there was predation/consumption
Eating D's breakfast fry up - scrambled eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon, peppers, lots and lots of butter
Walking to the 'curios' shop
Coming back, sitting, watching Dani make green curry
