Well today was 'Discover Oceanography' day............... The R.V. Callista relies on sponsorship from other institutions, whether it is scientific, media etc.......... to provide trips out for kids......... a really great idea because, maybe I would have discovered oceanography a little earlier ?!
So Team Callista were on standby to impress the big people who make decisions for their respective companies!!!
So we had of course, the wonderful Maria smoozing them with a wealth of knowledge of the microscopic kind.............. and the rest of the hot ladies doing their bit!! This was a pretty great day because we had on board other academics who obviously knew their thang, but maybe wanted to be a little more impressed as such well enough to part with the notes baby .......... iIthink we did a great job........ and I did a bit of networking... both for myself and the Callista team, who are pretty amazing ..... and lets not forget the R.V. Bill Conway team, who are just as amazing......... In fact, one member of the Bill Conway is actually Harrison Ford........ photos will follow soon!!! So yeah Sunday was a bit different, less hectic............. and still reading zero on the sharkometer, damn................................
But we had a charming old lady on board part of the PRB (Purple Rinse Brigade), who had some interesting info on sightings of basking sharks in the area........... none have been sighted since late may in the area.......... which is unusual this time of year................... so myself and Steph (my partner in crime) will have to do some serious digging to work out why......... well we have a few theories so far....................... but it just hurts to think that I may never see one here!!! Come on people will the sharks to appear.....we need everyone to think positive at the same time ............. I tell you who we need ..... we need the man himself............ NOEL EDMUNDS........ HE WILL SURELY HELP US.......................
Maria is on the case!!!!
bye movers and groovers, keep logging on and commenting.......
