Had another special treat on my dive this morning - Blue Banded Sea Snake.

My new friend on this morning's dive - Blue Banded Sea Snake, fairly venomous but timid, and not very dangerous. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophis_belc...

I've only ever seen sardines in a can, or maybe in a small heap at the fish market. To see them in the wild by the millions in their own environment is truly overwhelming. Sorry for the video quality, it doesn't near capture the spectacle of the thing, but the general idea is there.

Diving in Moalboal, Cebu Island, Philippines - taking a break during the off season. Got to swim with some sea turtles this morning. Still learning to use underwater camera though. Sorry for the video quality.

Took a cruise out on the Sound this morning, folks from here and family from Alberta, to sprinkle the grandfather's ashes. Former Navy man, served in the North Atlantic. Grandma was along, 87 years young, right down to the great grand children. It was really moving. What a wonderful group. A real privilege and a pleasure to be able to do that for / with them.

Tied up safe at home dock; No small feat.

10 Days of tours and parties up in the city, ending with quite an eventful and interesting night at the dock at Coal Harbour last night, with someone riding their bicycle off the dock, somewhat inebriated. Fished them and the bike out, all good.

We lost our steering at 10 PM, managed with engine steering, and unfortunately couldn't do our last tour today up to the end of Indian Arm, and were unable to help with a Mayday call for a boat on fire. All ended well there.

I brought the boat home down the sound solo with no steering, just on engines. 1 hr. 40 minutes dock to dock, and tied up home in strong headwind. Very proud of our Crew. Could not have done it without my Son and First Hand, awesome skipper Richard Smallboy, and without my other skipper Martain Lemelin. And of course without Lily Ebrao none of it would be possible!

All of our skills and abilities were challenged, wind, weather, waves and mechanical issues, all handled in ordinary course as though they were nothing.

I'm very proud of our Crew and company. Very impressive. They do us proud without exception.

Thanks All!
