Claude went out this morning for his first dive with the team, but I stayed ashore with Ann to explore Kushimoto for a couple of hours on foot, accompanied by Jun Kimura, a Japanese graduate student of maritime archaeology at Flinders University in Australia; he received an M.A. and soon will begin doctoral studies there under Mark Staniforth. Tonight we are all invited to an official dinner by the mayor, so I'd better get dressed--with a tie for the first time since I arrived here.
