Then end of the Sunday story

After reaching shore, and deciding the snorkelling really wasn't that good, we decided to go to the shrimp shack (actually a run-down bus on the roadside) to get some delcious shrimp scampi. . .mmmmm. And then it was back Honolulu, for some R&R before squidding.

It was 9PM when we ended up heading out to catch squid for the lab. The moon was full and soft, and the water was bathwater warm again, and we trudged up and down the sandbar looking for little bobtail squid with our nets and flashlights. Seems like I developed a good eye for them, I caught three! I was relieved to catch ANY. I also saw a lizard fish buried in the sand, and at one point a very large and angry octopus streaking by my leg in an elongated red hurry. It was quite an experience all and all, and a very tiring one at that. But hopefully, we helped stockt the lab's dwindling supply.

So now it's monday! Yes!
