A Day Off!

Paul and Thomas woke me up at 5:15am this morning so we would go snorkeling on the other side of the island. We ended up in a nature reserve  near Honolulu. We spent a couple hours snorkeling, watching all the tourists, napping in the beach and getting rid of our farmer’s tans. In the end, we didn’t even have to pay for admission or parking because we arrived so early.

Next we stopped for an early lunch at a hamburger place. It was nice to get some fast food back in my system. Afterwards, it went to Jamba juice to grab something to drink.

We stopped at Pearl Harbor after that. I had not been here since I was a kid so it was a much different experience, actually understanding what had gone on there. However, we were unable to get tickets to visit the Arizona memorial so after seeing the museum on the land, I spent some time at a bench thinking about my project and what the next steps were.

What I concluded:

Finish processing the imagery

Eliminate unwanted imagery

Measure the Photoscan to  one hectare

Further process and take the volume

Calculate the volume to biomass

In the afternoon, we went to Waikiki beach, relaxed in the sun and shopped at the international market. I bought myself a new hat and grabbed dinner at a decent sushi place. Overall, it was a successful day off on Oahu!
