Conditioning of the objects

Very hot weather from the morning, weak wind: the wind mill ceased turning. Luckily, no hard work under the sun today.
While we were sitting at the table for breakfast, Jean-Michel returns from his tour of the beaches and announces to us that 21 turtles assembled last night to lay their eggs. Bad news, one of them died and it will be necessary to give him a hand to bury it. The operation is planned for this evening, in the cool.

Under the direction of Thomas, we proceed to the reconstitution of the skeleton n°2 and the photographs of the unit, before packing it. Contrary to the body n°1, of which the cranium had been crushed under a large stone which recovered it, the skull of the n°2 is undamaged and is very well preserved.

We snoop around the packing cases, throwing an eye on an object, taking another one of its packing for little more personal photographs than that of the database.
The team charged of the inventory did an excellent job: we leave with all of the objects photographed, conditioned and listed in the database.

Last activity of the day, Jean Boggio, always in search of images, wishes to film a meeting between us; the filming was caught in the evening.
