The hazards of working in the field...

Ok, this isn't quite what it seems, however we did have some mishaps today at Boiler Bay. No, I did not get attacked by a Japanese Spider Crab. This photo was taken by Gayle during our first visit to the aquarium with Sally during inverts. Either I'm really small (which is true) or this crab is FREAKIN GIGANTIC (also true).

Back to Boiler Bay though. I was hoping from one rock to another after having my picture taken next to the Boiler when my camera fell out of my pocket and into a tide pool. Trista dove after it in her hip waders and plucked it from the sea. I gave it a rinse and hopefully it's fine. It's water resistant, but I'm still crossing my fingers on this one. So forgive me if posts are a bit more sporadic with pictures since my camera is currently on sick leave until it dries...
