DAY 14 on MIDWAY

Thursday December 29
          It was gratifying to see our hard work for the week so far displayed on the plot map this morning.  We had more of the same all day - every conversation contained the word burrows expressed with grimaces.  We start sector 33 tomorrow.  Ticking them off, that's why we are here.  We are the Counters!


It appears that we are closing in here with more spaces filled than empty

          There was a sense of nostalgia as eight people we didn't know two weeks would be leaving tonight.  Only three will be coming in on the plane that takes them away - back to their lives and jobs on the mainland.  We picked up our dinners and carried them over to Capt. Brooks Pub so we could all wish them well.  Their plane was delayed several times, I heard them roar when it was really time to go at 10pm rather than 7:30.

           I hope to get a better copy of the group photo before long - there were at least 8 cameras taking the same shot.  In the meantime - this one came back from our little fugi camera.  There are five leaders here plus another 12 of us.  They told us tonight we have been a congenial group that makes the work easy.  It helps to hear.

  1. You guys need to publish these photos and writings!!! We found your blog only yesterday and am so sorry we are late. With your permission we would like to share this blog with our H.S. Biology students and print a few of your pictures. It looks to be such a wonderful adventure you are undertaking. Wish we were with you. The short video clip with sound was also great. Recently we bought a new HD TV and Wendy gave me a Logitech for Christmas. This allows me to sign in to Google on the TV.We now have a 60 inch Fairy Tern on our screen. What a great photo that is. Keep up the great work and send more videos.
    Me ke aloha puma hana.
