We will be running our gas detection equipment soon and then our hardest most technical work will be finished. Sunday I got to see Fraser’s Dolphins hunting a Mahi-mahi. First, I saw the Mahi-mahi breach the surface gracefully followed by about 4 to 5 of the dolphins. They zipped about in all directions pinpointing an inclination and then a bearing right at the poor beautiful golden beast. Similar I imagine to the Shell ops and exploration geologists on the coming Chibu-1 well. If like the dolphins they will at least be close to the prize. At first I thought they were Spinning Dolphins, however, to not conflagrate up a debate on biological behavior in my own wits I will remain with my original observations. They had short stubby fins.
This reminds me of A voyage round the world in the years MDCCXL, I, II, III, IV by Commander George Anson of the Royal Navy in 1748. He himself tried to stay true to observations stringently in order to provide the public with actual helpful insights. He states on pg. d1, pg. 34 on archive.org, “And on this occasion I cannot but mention, that though I have endeavored, with my utmost care, to adhere strictly to truth in every article of the ensuing narration; yet I am apprehensive, that in so complicated a work, some overfights must have been committed, by the inattention to which at times all mankind are liable. However, I know of none but literal mistakes, some of which are corrected in the table of Errata: And if there are other errors which have escaped me, I flatter myself they are not of moment enough to affect any material transaction, and therefore I hope they may justly claim the readers indulgence.”
So, I myself do adhere to the rules of science in regards to experience and written observation. Pungent odor from the flower leads me to the nectar and thus continues the plant’s cycle and a blooming of revelation for, hopefully, us all. There goes Darwin.
We move forward. SeaQuest: 2020.
