Team Okinawa in Hawaii….

317

good morning. 7am on windy saturday. small waves around the island with choppy conditions. cloudy, overcast, and not a good day to go to the beach. i don’t see one surfer in the water as of now. small craft warnings due to these strong winds. not a good day to go diving too. but gotta make the most of it. putting on my full suit and going into the underwater world. hope my boat doesn’t fly away in these winds…. have a nice day…

had a blast last night. it’s been a while since i’ve been out into the town. team wakayama and team okinawa were in town so i knew it was going to be a long night… started off at momomo for dinner. these are my friends… starting off from the left is kimura-san, atsuko-san, satoru-san, kohei-san, ryoji-san, and takahashi-san. after this, i forgot what happened. i just remember flashing lights, loud music, lots of beer, and a hangover…. thanks guys for the awesome okinawa style night. maybe see you again tonight? haha….
**by the way, been traveling throughout this world and wanted to say that nobody parties as hard as the guys in okinawa. these guys go from afternoon all the way to morning light. sleep for a couple of hours, and are pulling into huge barrels over sharp reef the next day. i don’t know how they do it. i always have a blast when i go to okinawa but when i leave there, it takes me a couple of weeks to get back to normal. so much island style fun with the nicest people in the world. that’s one place in the world where i never get home sick. can’t wait to go there this year. and just wanted to say what’s up to the rest of the boys in okinawa… save some snake sake for me… haha. just joking….
