 so this morning i woke up early and thought about surfing the north shore or taking care of my nose.  health is more important than fun right?  anyway, the best way to fix a broken nose is to free dive.  the pressure under water for some reason releases everything and everything out of the nose.  it&#8217;s worked hundreds of times so i decided to head out to the ocean.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_5730.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5730\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64077\" \/><br \/>\non the way out, i seen whales everywhere!!!  omg, finally they are all coming close to shore and just hanging out.  some were in 10 meters or 30&#8242; deep water.  it was amazing!  i parked the boat and started watching 2 huge whales and their baby swimming around.  then they turned and started to swim towards the boat.  omg!  chance!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_5736.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5736\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64078\" \/><br \/>\ni get my mask and fins out and get ready for the trill of my life.  i jump in, i dive down, then i see the biggest whales of my life!  they just swam right on by.  i didn&#8217;t see the baby so i guess the mother whale was blocking and protecting her.  it was freaking amazing!  and guess what?  i forgot my camera!!!!  haha.  it&#8217;s always times like this i see the most amazing things.  but it&#8217;s ok because that will be etched in my mind forever.  can&#8217;t wait to do it again.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_5737.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5737\" width=\"640\" height=\"197\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64079\" \/><br \/>\ni anchor Mayuki and start scrubbing the bottom.  just enjoying the time underwater.  scrubbing for 10 minutes, then taking a break and free diving for 10 minutes.  did that for over an hour and had both a great exercise and nose clearing at the same time.  yes, my nose is fixed!  nature as my medicine!  and yes, Mayuki is clean.  nice day.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_5745.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5745\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64081\" \/><br \/>\nthe water was so clean.  i jumped in a totally new spot today and couldn&#8217;t believe how many fish i seen.  i dove down and waited for them to come check me out.  3-5 huge uhu&#8217;s swam right up to my mask.  i didn&#8217;t have my gun so it was their lucky day.  but next time i go there, they might not be so lucky.  i know exactly where to go!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/somalia-plane-2_3566131b.jpg\" alt=\"somalia-plane-2_3566131b\" width=\"620\" height=\"387\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64083\" \/><br \/>\nheard about that airplane in somalia that exploded and blew out a hole in the side?
