Cruise on the Galaxy - March 2002

A strange tree

Close up of the strange tree roots

The "Coco de Mer" - this is the largest seed in the world, it was about two feet high or so.
It is a double-lobed coconut.
Hmm... it is strangely shaped, eh? All the seeds look like this though - this one is just a normal seed.

After that, it's back to the ship. The ship travelled fast that night, and the wind was blowing hard.
We went up on deck and tried to walk in the 40 to 50 mile per hour winds. It was so funny - we had to lean way into the wind, and kept getting knocked around by it. It was blowing so hard it was like trying to walk through molasses.

OK, well, that ends the second day. There will be more later.
Cya - Steve.
