This week is going to be our last week of research out on the water. Actually though, wednesday will be our last day because we need thursday to prepare for our open house on friday. The open house is when our sponsors come to see what the kids are up to and such.
last week went pretty well and we caught a ton of fish up in namayo like I mentioned earlier. We have no moved back down into dorothy to finish up gill netting and get some substrate samples. Today started out with some surprise rain and thunder so we were delayed until about 10 or so. We made pretty good time out to our project sites, but not before I saw the world's largest dock spider. And yeah, I know i'm terrified of spiders and you might think i'm exagerrating, but seriously, this is the largest spider I have ever seen in manitoba. It looked like a baby tarantula and I was terrified. haha.
Anyways, the weather cleared up and we had a nice sunny morning and got all our nets pulled and fish sampled and then returned to our supervisors cabin, as we usually do, to re-tub nets and do somemore data entry. We were just done lunch and our nets and had moved into the outdoor gazebo when it started to rain for a bit yet again. It wasn't bad at all though as we just sat comfortably in the gazebo and watched it rain while still getting our data entry done.
I will be sad once our research is over but I suppose on the bright side, I won't have to go through so much sunscreen anymore.
