Yesterday's shower set the tone for the day, I would say.
It seems every other system has contained a water world, and one of them boasted no less than four balls of water all to its self.
I've logged and mapped a few, but never so many in one day. Wiggy did allude to such data being worth a fair amount of credits.
The money isn't the point of this journey, but I did promise Wiggy I would log and scan anything of interest to the IES to pay for him refitting the Ass for long range exploration. After he has deducted the cost of the work and parts, he said he will give me seventy percent of the going price for the rest of the booty. As the Ass is not mine, he will have to do some jiggery-pokery to get me credit for the planetary data, otherwise the Pilots Federation will simply pay Suzis' company as they own the ship.
Speaking of the Ass, she's starting to wear the light years on her hull. I rarely look up at her when I come back after running, or driving out to scan something, but today I was out enjoying a true blue sky and saw this.
Perhaps this is why Wiggy suggested I take a picture of the Ass before I set out. Well, this rocky planet comes with a little over Earth normal gravity and a beautiful blue sky. I think I'll spend a few hours in the cockpit listening to Ninette read some Dumas to me while I reminisce about days I've had under a clear blue sky, much like this one. For now..
Goodnight Log.

After so much found yesterday, I didn't find much today. In truth, I scanned plenty of bio, but nothing to talk about. I was on a moon with nine bio returns and had hell'n'all trouble finding them, and then I remembered I had Uzumoku Low-G Wings.
With 0.06 Gs, they worked great and I can tell you flying like a bird is the only way to look for alian cabbages. I didn't cover many light-years today, as I was obliged to follow the bio returns for Wiggy; I even fell short of the way point I was aiming for.
The fresh Altairian Skin I applied yesterday is making me look like a walking rainbow, so I'm going to bed. I almost have one G on a rocky ice body tonight, so I should sleep well.
Good night Log.
