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.

Now back in the South Island havelock ..

Stunning Cathedral cove and some freaky diving conditions

All of this is Near Hahei, absolutely wonderful.. I swam in some of the biggest water i have seen right on the beach in a while.. clear beautiful rugged and lovely .. I made some epic things happen with a bunch of mates.. I will have to tell you in the edited format.. basically we had to transport a bunch of adults to the beach from mercury bay over the stretch of water that was rough swells and there were some little children and babies and we made the most amazing swim to safety ever.. not to dangerous but sketchy enough .. later I will fill you all in .. But .. This place is special and here are some pictures.. so the cove is Cathedral Cove and then there are some small islands in one picture that I dove around.. that is the next blog entry ..l love you . love ME>>>> I am a big fish .. watch out

up and back and here we go; North Island funness

hello and happy of new years: this is a big one ladies and gentlemen.. this is the one we all want to connect with .. and Guess what i have been doing . traveling like a little bumble bee.. zipping all over this great island nation .. I have mastered the skill of kiwi driving .. I will not use my indicators.. thats what we call blinkers.. I will not use my head lamps until it is way to dark but wait >> I will give the old two finger way to everyone passing by. Low and behold they all wave back.. so cool and relaxed. just kidding about the head lamps.. i use them 24hours a day. I have driven and riden with my friends over 3000 kilometers.. we love it. spending 12 hours in the car and wow.. gets interesting. We had a destination and made it happen.. I am so glad we did.. I am back from the north island fun times and probably will be venturing up there again before I leave.. I made such awesome friends and had a fabulous time staying at a beach front place with a rocking cook K
