We’ve been having an amazing month for free diving and spearfishing.  The girls can hold their breath and hunt for their own food now.  They know how unpredictable the ocean can be.  Sometimes you won’t see a thing, and sometimes you will see an amazing thing.  Imagine hunting for fish and then you look up and see a pod of dolphins also hunting.  This was a very rare experience and luckily we have the photos to relive it over and over.

There is a spot I call my “refrigerator.”  When ever I go there, I drop down to 30′ and watch all the beautiful fish swimming around.  I wait and wait until I see something tasty swimming by.  In this case, a nice size “munu” and knew how I was going to eat it.  But first, I must spear it.  It’s always best spearing it in the head.  That way you don’t damage the fish, and you also instantaneously kill it.

When I go to my secret spot called “refrigerator,”  I only take one fish.  That’s why this spot has been feeding me for the past 40 years.

This is the freshest and tastiest fish dish you will ever experience.  Every spear fishermen knows this…

Just a few days ago, this sailboat got pushed into the reef at Rockpiles.  It’s been sitting there for 5 days and nobody came to take it out of the ocean.  It looks like it’s still in good shape right?  

This morning we went to look at it.  OMG, look what the waves and reef did to it!  The story is a 24 year old girl just bought the sailboat and took it out for a test run.  First, nobody should have been out on that day.  Second, she was sailing way to close to the waves.  Third, once she lost control, she should have thrown out the anchor to stop it from going on the reef.  BUT, she didn’t.

And this is what happens when you’re inexperienced and panic.  Jeannie Chesser posted a video that Alan took of the damaged reef.  It was very sad to see.  

We paddled out to see if the sailboat ruined the surf break.  Other than a trail of broken reef, the surf was the same.  Mighty Mouse loving the clean water and warm weather.

Rocky’s wave knowledge is very high level.  She knows how to read the waves, currents, winds, swell direction, and which board to use for any given day.  That’s talent.  

It was just the 2 girls and I enjoying this fun wave today.  After all those crazy days of intense Boot Camp, today was like Disneyland.
