Entry 4 - Day 2

 

I'm a bit confused.  According to both my chrono and the PDA, this is day two, but I don't feel like I've been here for more than a few hours.  Maybe my head got hit harder than I thought on the way down.

The night didn't seem to last very long and I'm pretty sure that I didn't fall asleep yet, so maybe my chrono is picking up on the planet's ambient light cycles?  It could be syncing itself up with local time, I guess.

I mean, it's possible, right?  If the planet is tilted on its axis, then that would mean that nights are shorter then the days at certain times of the year and longer at others.  Plus the day/night cycle seems a lot shorter than on Earth... I'm sure all this was be obvious to a planetary geologist or geographer, but I never studied.  Destined for middle management, that's me.

Okay, enough moping.  Time to make a plan.

Bad things generally come out at night, so it'd be worth knowing how long the daylight actually lasts.  If I do have to go into the water, then I want to know what sort of time I'd have before it gets dark.  So, I'll time it from sunrise to sunset and then if I stick close to the surface, I should be fine.

Right?
