| Rich was one of two token Cougar crewmembers for 2000 and
2001. Both years he visited during his spring break from WSU. |
| Each year he has had to deal with a bit of thermal shock
due to leaving the frozen Palouse one morning and arriving in the balmy
Caribbean that evening. The first year he started his spring break
with a world class sunburn on which he used approximately 35 gallons of
aloe during the rest of the week. |
| In 2001 he was more cautious and didn't suffer such
severe burns. |
| Here he is in the water at Allan's Cays, a few of the
hundreds of southern islands in the Bahamas known as the Exumas.
At one point he discovered that you could actually track conch.
They leave a characteristic trail as they drag themselves along the
bottom. |
