it’s always great to see friends spear their first fish. the expression from start to finish is hilarious. i’m totally laughing inside because i know so well the feeling that comes with free diving. Reid and Yuko-chan never gave up. i did 60 dives yesterday, but i’m sure they did more. i just watched them go up, down, up, down all day long. they both speared their first fish ever and i’m sure it’s not their last. and i’m also sure they slept pretty well last night because i got tired watching them go up, down, up, down, up, and down. haha. by the way, thanks Reid for polishing Mayuki after. she looks so beautiful! and congratulations on your first fish. that was awesome!

Kole is regarded by some locals as the best tasting reef fish. sprinkle with salt and pepper, roll in corn starch, and deep fry until golden brown. taste like crispy fish chicken. dip it into butter and tastes like lobster. Yuko-chan and Reid took home their fish and i’m sure they will enjoy it.

our fresh catch of the day. spear, share, and enjoy.
i can’t wait to free dive again very soon! just have to wait a week until the nasty West winds go away. welcome to weird weather and weird wind winter season. always offshore somewhere!
