Shark Week
Iakwe,
This week on Discovery is shark week, one of my favorite weeks of the year television wise. It sure has brought back lots of memories of my time on Roi and the great diving there. Tonight they had a show on the 10 deadliest sharks. Unfortunately I missed the first half of the show because 2 of the sharks on the list I dove with off Roi. Those were the white tip and the grey reef shark. I saw and swam with a number of those as well as nurse sharks and black tips while on Roi. There are tiger sharks there but I never saw one nor did anyone I can think of. But shortly before I arrived a tiger was caught either on Roi or Enniburr. My friend had its jaw. Watching all these shows is making me crave going diving again. They’ve even invaded my dreams. A couple nights ago I dreamed that I was still living on Roi and my Dad and my sister made a surprise visit to me in a small boat. I was upset because they didn’t give me any notice to make preparations such as arranging approval for their visit or accommodations. But my thoughts in my dream were that it was too late at night to send them on their way because it was getting dark and sharks are believed to be most active at feeding in the evening and in the morning. Of course in real life my Dad is already sleeping with the fish but my sainted sister is still alive and kicking. Stay tuned. My next blog might describe my first trip away from home when I went to work in my Uncle Ernie’s donut shop in Ocean City Maryland. Happy blogging.
