On the Water

My new home has opened my eyes to many new possibilities - one of which seems to be water sports. Everyone at the beach is surfing, Boogie boarding, and the like. Well, this weekend I took a wack at a water sport - wakeboarding.



This is how I spent a good portion of the afternoon.

 I was surprised to find out that the hardest part wasn't getting on my feet, it was holding on. Turns out it's not quite as easy to hold on to a moving boat. Still, it was so relaxing to spend an afternoon in the water. We ended the day withshrimping and made shrimp and grits for dinner. No better way for a bunch of marine scientists to end a day in the South.

Fact of the Post: A group of researchers, including two students from my awesome alma mater, are studying acoustic communication in mantis shrimp.

I'm excellent at serenading.
