Hot and Sweaty
That’s how I can describe our first days here in Fiji. That’s optimum for me because I just want be underwater the whole trip anyways. That being said we have been logging some serious bottom time! Its day two and we already have three dives under our weight belts and one very successful free dive for yours truly. So far the marine life tally is through the roof with sightings of but not limited to: turtles, snapper, reef sharks, sea snakes, and my favorite Spanish mackerel.

So if you don’t know I am also an avid spearfisherman and the Fijian boat men were more than happy to let me jump in and try to catch some dinner the other night. I couldn’t believe my luck when my favorite reef fish swam underneath me right when I jumped in! So after two over excited botched shots I was able to pick off one of the medium size guys that was just a little to curious! I was so excited and I immediately made sure to dispatch of him as humanely and quickly as possible and rushed back to the boat. I made sure to be sure I filleted him myself so I knew NONE of this fish went to waste! He fed our entire crew and some of the Fijian staff here at our hotel and we even used the carcass for chum on our scuba dives. I want everyone to know that spearfishing is a very selective and conservatory way of obtaining fish for eating purposes. The first rule I ever learned and still live by is “never take more than you need.”
Beaker Boost.

Cheyne’s Cabo Surf Ride Trip
Posted by Cheyne in Cheyne's Corner | October 5th, 2009 | 1 Comment
Here we go again. For those of you who don’t know, Cabo San Lucas is a town that lies at the very end of the Baja peninsula that separates the Pacific Ocean from the sea of Cortez. It’s known for its fishing, surfing, and girls gone wild style party scene. We were down there for two out of three of those attractions and it wasn’t the girls, sorry girls.
