Well, I didn't think I'd be the type to make my own blog but i figured that since I'm in Pinawa for the summer doing neat things and won't be able to see people as often, that I would make a blog so people can find out what I'm up to if they'd like.
So yes, I am working on a research project in Pinawa that deals with sturgeon. My first "adventure" of sort starts tomorrow. We will be taking a boat to an area near Slave Falls and staying at a cabin kind of thing until Sunday evening. Apparently we stay up there because it is such a long boat ride that going back and forth every day wouldn't be as charming as one would think.
Once we get up there we will be catching adult Sturgeon. How big is an adult sturgeon you ask? Well, we use 10-12 inch gill nets and I think they said last year their largest fish was about 6 feet long. We have to pull the nets into the boats ourselves so I also wonder if I will have arms of steel by the end of the summer.
Though I am a little nervous about dealing with a fish that is about the same length as me I think it is going to be lots of fun and I will write about how my first trip went when I get back Sunday evening.

So...this is pretty much incredible. Though, I think you should have called it meaganvsthesturgeon.blogspot.com. I'll get over it though.
As if you're a blogger. This makes my life. I might just have to start my own blog and write about...nothing. Much like the emails I often send you. Wouldn't that be fantastic?
Yes. Yes it would.
