MB2

So I just became a member of a go cart racing place called MB2. It is so much fun. Go cart racing around the track is quite a thrill. Though I do need to work on my driving skills so I can some day be as fast at Peter but he's got some years of driving on me. This is he and I at the track getting preped for our race which of course he won.

Rock Climbing


My new adventure addiction is rock climbing. I love it when I'm not diving chances are you'll find me on a rock. I am not an amazing climber but this leave much room from improvement. I do love the adventure. I like the gym but really prefer to be out of doors scaling large bolders in the wild. It is heart racing. Though the ropes hold you up it is a thrill to think you could fall at any moment if you let go.

Pre-Night Dive


One would think the things that lirk in the night are scary enough without haing to go underwater with them. Tonight I embark on my first night dive. Of which to be honest I am most fearful. However this is one more step to becomming an instructor and one more fear to barrel over and leave behind me. For me my fears are a road block more mental then anything. So instead of continuing to fear something I do it. Not really because I want to but because I am afraid to. I have no doubt this first night dive will be very unearving for me and I will waste all 3000 lbs of air in the first 15 minutes. However my weakness will one day become a streath as I continue to work and make an effort to improve. So here goes Nightdive one.

Open Season


There are people that wait for things farmers wait to plant, hunters wait till their season begins and divers here in Califonia wait for Lobster season. This year opening day began at midnight September 27. Pacific Scuba was a buzzing place with air fills and punch bags to provide the locals with their every need. And we chartered out the Sunfish dive boat to get out their and have a go at the bugs ourselves. This mighty hunter caught nothing but in the hunt did catch a glimps of some rather captivating sights... a bat ray, horn shark, gerobaldi and a spotted harbor seal. I lost my dive partener Rick on the last dive so think goodness for my compass. He and I both made it back dispite the conditions of 4 feet of visibility. Luckly the two earlier dives were in better conditions. So the dive count is now 30 and the lobster count for this season is 0.
