We had a great day at sea in Kumejima today. The sea was quite calm but with a big swell that did not make it easy to fix the samples on the boat (poor Rian).
The reef here is very diverse and beautiful and it was nice to see that even Pim who has a lot of experience on mesophotic corals worldwide was very excited to see those corals. And of course with the friendly staff on the boat and good food on the Island this turns out to be quite a perfect trip. Let's see what surprises we will get tomorrow. Good ones? Bad ones? Will we be able to come back with all our equipment?
Good news should be one typhoon will turn its way to west, and another one will arrive after you got back. Have a nice and fruitful trip.
