A bit of a busy week after being in Dunedin the previous, so not much time to finish an NSF proposal due March 3rd at 5pm MST. Of course I took it to 12:56pm NZT on March 4 to make the deadline with 6 min to spare. Why do I do this every time?? Not a bad proposal, but some obvious spelling errors and the bibliography was just a mess. Next round for this RFA is August. It was especially hard to work on this while the wind just kept building all day! Looking off the deck toward Blackpool during the morning revealed many whitecaps and one ginormous sailboat off the point. Multimillion-dollar vessel not bothering to seek shelter from the 20 to 30 knot winds. But also not bothering to raise the sails! Quite the site to see on the edge of the island this morning.
Luckily it was still cranking at 3pm when I was ready to get in the water at Surfdale. 4.7, Kombat, perfect. Rudy showed up on the water, and I didn't recognize him since I haven't seen him in the water since the Sting-Ray incident. Jenn and kids walked along the Esplenade to go to guitar lesson at 4:30pm, so they borrowed the car while I kept going. Nik caught a video around the "Ray" rock:
