Day 14:Stranded on the Napoli Coast

June 25, 2012

We started the morning by waking up at 4 am. We all got ready and were out the door by 5. It was a miracle! We made our way to the dock. We road on a zodiac for about an hour to the Napoli Coast State Park. The boats then left and were going to be back until 5:30pm. We first got a tour of the area. Burney showed us the area that the Hawaiian tribe use to live in. He showed us the houses they use to live in, the well where they go their water and how they moved around thro0ughout the rocky terrain. In the morning, we did some field work. We had 3 different areas to work with. We could go help cleaning out the well, work with the GPR, or go and help out with the UVA and the kite. The hydro team didn’t really have an area to work on so we kinda roamed around. I went and hung out with the people doing the UAV and the kite. After we couldn’t get the kite to stay up in the air because the wind wast consistent, I was super tired so I ended up taking a nap. and then others followed in the nap process. After my nap, I kinda just roamed around for the rest of the time. I laid in the sun for a while, went and looked at the sea turtles, hung out and talked with people and just had a good time with where we were. When the boats finally returned, we came home and had some delicious pizza! After that, I called it an early night because I was tired!
