Comments From A Reader

Earlier today, I met one of our readers.

The comments included:
1) How are you guys? Recovered yet?
2) Your blog.... Very interesting, especially in the week after the trips...
3) What new injuries this time?

My replies were:
1) Somewhat recovered, one week with the trips, and one week to recover, just in time to abuse ourselves again, I think is quite alright... Though I can't speak for some of the other members of the crew...
2) We are too tired to post during the actual week of trips, and are trying to keep up with backend stuff like dubbing and logging, which, by the way, we are way behind... AGAIN. Anyway, limited internet access at HQ, so....
3) This one is also with the Blue Water Volunteers, since some of us cross over to help them out from time to time. We compare the most dramatic injuries, like the 10 mosquito bites on an elbow, the anemone stings on the back of a camera operator's hand, and the pus-leaking gashes on one of the more gung-ho member's legs. Also the various stings that we're eventually going to get or have alrady gotten... Hydroid, stingray, stonefish, stargazer... Like someone once commented on our crew: "It's not a matter of IF we get stung/bitten/eaten/chomped... It's just a matter of WHEN... And by WHAT..."
