Buzzing the hotel

I'm having a low-key day today. It turns out that when you spend all day in the sun, snorkeling your little heart out, that even if you use a lot of SPF 30 waterproof sunblock, you can still get a mild burn and sun poisoning. I've never said I was infinitely wise.

Thus, today I am in recovery mode. I'm feverish, nauseated, and have had absolutely no appetite all day. I did manage to drag myself out of bed around 12:30 to go get some after-lunch ice cream, though. And iced tea. That's about it for the day.

In brighter news, we had our second research flight a couple days ago, and at the end of it our pilots had it organized that they'd do a fly-by of the hotel, complete with cameramen alert and at the ready. I believe that someone said we were flying at 85 feet! Here are a few of the shots they got. They might not seem that interesting, but to all of us who work on the plane, they are wickedly cool. They are going to try it again tomorrow, flying in lower and slower, to see if we can get the shot.

Hmmm... I'm actually feeling hungry. That's a good sign.
