27 Feb, Mon

Mon, 27 Feb ... work work work..... seems that's all i do all day :) ... i spent most of the day with John ... a 'new John', who has just agreed to help out, since the other John will be leaving about the same time i'm leaving. so at least there will be some continuity in the program. i think i overwhelmed him with information :( ..... later in the afternoon, the regular John and i met to try to organize the database of prior sightings of Whale Sharks ... which will be a very long project and one that i'm glad i won't be around long enough to have to work on! we did get another request from Utopia Lodge asking for a Whale Shark Boat trip for 12 people and they asked for Wed. ... we checked the wind forecast and it will be really rough in the pm, so we got permission to go out in the morning .. that's good. John has prior commitments, so i'll be on my own for the first time. ..... i'll have 2 Dive Masters with me and the new John, ... all new people ... and me ! Paco and Tulum (that we had Chili with) are leaving in a few days. ...so they had their own Going Away Party and he fixed his famous Chili again ... it was awesome. there was quite a group there from the Dive Shop ... and 2 of the people had already left when we took this picture ... i'll miss Paco, he is one of the good guys.
