Well, it has been a very long time since I posted a blog. On the other hand, it has been a very busy couple weeks for me here in New Zealand. Since my last posting I have had several meetings with my supervisors, working out the details of my project, which I will try to get a posting up so you all can get an idea of what I will be doing for the next 2 2/3 years. It is kind of hard to believe that a third of the year has passed. The first day of spring is on September 1st here, so I survived a kiwi winter (as if you can call it winter) and I am heading into spring.
I have been living and breathing the material required to perform diving field work these past weeks, which is mostly to do with my absence. I have now completed an Oxygen administration course for diving, a Stress and Rescue course through SSI (Scuba Schools International), and I am (in the eyes of the New Zealand coastguard) now a BoatMaster! Other than that, the dolphins have returned twice, performing their aquatic and occasionally aerial acrobatics as well as a few thundershowers that were so close you could feel the walls shaking in the bunk room. I am sorry that I have been so very behind on the blog, but I promise to pick things up and get one out more regularly.
