Casualty Lists for June 7-11 Series of Trips

No major casualties to report.

Minor casualty was due to overzealousness. A cameraperson had her hand stung pretty well by an anemone where a shrimp was hiding. On a normal guided walk, these anemones would be considered safe to touch. In this case, however, it is suspected that the anemone either thought the hand was dead material, food, or something irritating and to be stung and gotten rid of. The cameraperson, who specialises in extreme macro underwater shots produced very good shots, which we think were worth the pain, though next time, she will be instructed to wear gloves, or just stay the heck out of the anemones, which is what the other underwater cameraperson does.


Potential major casualty in the future due to this series of tips: Soundtrack to the stage musical: Les Miserables. Why? Ask Wai. (So sorry for that!) We were sitting around complaining of being tired, and one of us started saying,"One day more!" The song got stuck in our heads for the rest of the day. We also abused "A Little Fall of Rain", and are considering abusing "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables".

Many apologies to Messrs Boubil and Schonberg.
