One more Hammer-time

Just found another pic of the hammer and me -long live Erika Shagatay for taking this.

Mr. Murray

I'm one to talk, but this guy had a big mouth:

Watch it

This man has entirely too much time on his hand

Is it a bar? Is it a fettish?

Probably best not to order champagne here -unless that's your thing

I'm no slut

no matter what Linda claims. I'm just cuddly. With a couple of people.

Flat

And i thought Holland was flat.

My new alarm clock

On the upside, it is very stylish, but regretfully, it does not have the 'off' setting, no snooze, nor can you really set it in any way. Does wake you up, though.

Hammer-time

Yesterday, as i was checking the line for Boo, i saw the fish behaving a bit oddly, and as i checked the reef, i saw a large creature moving along it. Turns out that was a Hammerhead. So i let go of the line, swim a bit closer to make sure i wasn't BSing myself, and got back up to point others to it. Funny things happen with freedivers: tell normal people there's a shark in the water and they get the hell out. Tell freedivers and they dive under to go and check it out.

It was a magnificent beast, probably around 2 meters long. Sad thing was that it was very stressed, trying to find a way out of the Hole with all those scuba divers around. It kept scanning for the exit. If it had been more relaxed, i would have gotten a bit closer to see if i could touch it, but now i didn't want to add to its stress and kept some distance as it circled the Hole. When it finally found the saddle and swam over and down into the great deep, i was left i awe.

Even though diving is going very very shit, this one made the whole stay worthwile. It's the sort of encounter that i'll look back upon again and again for years and years. Very lucky.

Dodgy

If my ears would be a character in a movie right now, i think this fellow should play them.
