wow, yesterday was a picture perfect day again! just super warm and super sunny. a perfect day to spend on the ocean!
gosh, it’s been a while since i went free diving. also haven’t eaten fresh fish in a while so it was time to catch some dinner.
red is best. i tell everybody when they first start diving to look for red fish. all great eating with the prized kumu being on the top.
good to see my ocean refrigerator full of life. i was surprised how many fish i seen yesterday. just speared 3 fish which is more than enough. been a while since i had to hold my breath for so long but i felt good. just one particular dive kind of scared me. i was down 40′ waiting for a uku to come close. i hid in a crack and just waited and waited. looked at my watch and it was approaching 2 minutes. i knew i should have started going up but thought the kumu would come in. i waited and waited. he kept on coming closer but not close enough to get a good head shot. i finally give up, start making my way up, then right when i reached the surface, my body went into a little shock, my head was spinning, i seen stars, and i almost threw up. that was way to close to a shallow water blackout. and to make things worst, i was diving alone. if something happened, there would be no way my boatman would find me. it’s been a while since i had an experience like that. my fault for pushing my body and mind way beyond my limits. better slow down.
came back in and took the girls surfing. as i was watching them paddling out, i was thinking to myself what would happen if i wasn’t here anymore to take them surfing. they would be bummed. maybe i shouldn’t be so careless with my life? yesterday was really a “thinking day” for me. happens about once a year after i have a near death experience.
then i come home and the nightmare starts. my computer is acting strange so i took it to the apple store, waited an hour for them to check it, they end up reseting everything, i bring it back home, took 5 hours to get it started again, then guess what? the fricken same dam problem!!!!!!!!! omg, all that for nothing. total shock!
