scuba dive and what a rideJEEPERS MEL:






So .. get this, i hired a boat that was towed by a tractor and left from a beach called Hahei. I left the shore with a gleam in my eye and a certain pounding in my heart.. I wanted some fun and was looking for a great time and low and beyond a great time was unraveling with a super charged ride right out into the wide blue open which seemed like the middle of the sea. I called Clear and rolled backwards off the boat to arrive in an underwater fantasy .. the swells were a movin. the water was sort of chilly and then the submerge began. As I went down the anchor rope to find a cloudy view the water got less rough in the first meters or two. I kept slowly pulling and sinking with just the right ease and nothing to worry about until the cold BREEZE.. as I moved away from the anchor rope to see such a sight.. major under water pinnacles delivering a fright. the murky waters were rough and the current a pulling next thing i did was to get ready to fold.. as this sweeping fast current tried to pull me along I found tons of anchor lines to just reach and grab on ..the sea was a waxing and i was the wax. yet i found my recovery just a bit deeper into the crevasse. as I moved into darkness and only a slight bit of light the vertigo kicking in and i had the response- to make flight and in my attempt I swam up a bit only to find the current ripping right through the gap i needed to shoot.. so instead i just waited and pondered a bit how great life is with all its fits..

me thinking like a deep swimmer i turned in a huff, and there were millions of mussels waiting to be plucked and a few crays nestled on tight and then so lovely fish swimming in fright.. i waited a bit more and then saw the door out and flowing with the fish inside and out.. and finally to my surprise no danger at all.. I just got caught in a ripping tide pull. the lesson is this.. live life to the full... 'est

All my love in 2008 keep swimming and dive the next big rip tide MEl

Hapuka Rock

This reef, out of the bay heading towards Hot Water Beach, rises up out of nowhere to 6m, from a depth of 25m on the ocean side and 20m on the western end. The most startling feature is the sheer 20m drop off to the sand on a wall covered with jewel anemones, mauve finger sponges and colourful encrusting sponges. This is a top dive and can be very rewarding for the hunter, at certain times of the year. Being a pinnacle, the top 10m of the reef is a good area for spotting kingfish.

Ok, so the rivers of Earth Were formed from large collections of rain from many many clouds after the great fireball earth cooled, millions of years ago, and it took man a mere 5000 years to putrefy them.. nice work man........ ok Yep my new job is great.

wake up and smell the coffee

Cold winds a blowin, sing songs a howlin. The weather is raw the weather is king. Shorter days knocking at the door. remembrances of yesteryear, the good old days, realizing they are permanently gone and that it will never be the same state again. Its a hard world to swallow sometimes, and especially as the time progresses and with that the expectations of adaption and evolution are ever present.. But it's easier to reflect than pro actively predict.! I am faced with the harsh reality that the place in the world that I am from , the magical all possible place that I come from is vanishing, slipping away and turning into a place of sour milk and no longer that rich golden land of milk and honey...... no dwelling but really dwelling. that is the state I sit in. the longing and desperation of knowing exactly how things would turn out. its gone its gone so gone gone gone... not hopeless just placeless spaceless danceless joyless empty outta wack adaptive acceptance

Beautiful weather as a bit of luck for a getaway weekend

I can cross three more cities and towns off my all mighty list of places to see in and around Belgie. On the drive outta town we passed through Luik aka Leige, a nice city with sketchy people and high crime, but nothing happened to us and so it was fine; we did however see two empty wallets strewn on the ground in a very short distance in addition there was a fare share of local panhandlers asking for some money for the fix of the day, but also there was a good police presence and therefore the safety was not to bad. The town its self was nicer then one would expect, its hidden and strange, there are many little towns around it so getting into the center one must drive down into the midden. There is new construction for the train stations and its modern and fresh. If one walks to the water there are historic buildings that are right out of the middle ages, rustic slanted and wooden appeal. quite cool really. After only speeking French, we moved on to MAASTRICHT, Holland. Large fresh ...
