wanted to thank Katsura-san for the treats! always good with the beer! thank you!

Fish vs. Man? Fish WINS!!! check out this fishing boat that caught a marlin. i think they estimated the power of this great big fish! the marlin fought for its life and won! he must have swam away laughing at this $100,000 boat as it sank.

this is freaking amazing! you just never know what’s going to happen in the ocean.

the captain must be very sad. kawaiso!

blue water diving is so relaxing and exciting. jumping in the ocean and just waiting for something to happen. each fish acts differently and you have to kind of read what their next move will be. check me out closing in on some mahimahi’s. i caught one and the other 2 ran away. opps, swam away. somedays you see fish, most days you don’t. it’s full on hunting as you never ever know what will happen.

i ate a poke bowl yesterday at Ono Seafood in kapahulu for lunch. it was really good, BUT, would have been really better if i caught the tuna. i hope i don’t forget to take shoyu, sesame oil, and hawaiian salt to panama because this is the first thing i want to make after i spear a tuna. i’m just trying to think very very positive and i can see it happening! wow!

I want to go on a Safari!!! Amazing!
Good morning 5:45am.
North shore 2-4′ and looking fun.
South shore still small at knee/waist high.
Winds are trades at 15-25mph.
Clear sunny sky.
Going surfing.
Have a wonderful day!

woke up this morning and saw the news about the korean ferry that capsized. lots of people died and still hundreds are missing. so heartbreaking. i wish they find the missing really soon. i see so many crazy things like this recently so that’s why i’m enjoying my precious life. it could be gone in a flash.

went for another free dive training session this morning. just trying to fine tune my equipment for my upcoming trip. i’m not going to Panama to fool around, i’m going to Panama to spear the biggest fish of my life. it’s very dangerous so i have to practice so i don’t die.

went out with Dr. Brent and Mr. Red Sea Kyle. we tied up to a mooring at 102′ and tested out our guns. mine worked pretty good but there were a few adjustments that had to be done so i’m glad i found out before the real senario of a 300lbs tuna swimming in front of me. there is absolutely no room for mistakes.

it was really windy but once you’re under the water, the wind doesn’t matter.

shucks, i cut my foot somehow. luckily a shark didn’t come and bite it off.

then i went to work and scrubbed the bottom of Mayuki. people use compressed air or scuba tanks but i just use my snorkel. it’s a lot of work but also a great work out. maybe that’s why i am so tired tonight? going to go shopping and buy my last minute supplies for my dream dive trip. then hopefully get to test out my gun one more time before i pack it up. and when i pull it out again, i’ll be hoping to have a huge tuna on the end of the shaft. i haven’t been more prepared in my life.
