Steve on Lady Carolina asked Selu a local guy if he
could take us spear fishing. He respondend that if we could supply the gasoline
he would.
So yesterday the "guys" took off and it was my
first experience spear fishing myself. Brendt on Impy lent me his spear and off
we went by the most beautiful coralhead out in the middle of
nowhere.
Even far out the fish is careful with big mammals
swimming around looking at them. Most will swim away and many will disappear
into the caves in the coral. Since Erika wished for any size fish I shot three
parrot fish that was not big but enough to feed the turtles wich was what she
was aiming for. Steve got two big parrot fish and when he caught a bigger sea
brass 4 sharks went after him and started to fight off the fish. He just had to
let go.I had one white tip shark swimming in circles around me and I held out
the spear to keep the distance.
Craig from True Blue Five did not catch any but
Selu was the champion of course, he shot a BIG Wha Lo a BIG Sea brass and a
coral Brass, all big fishes.Brendt was just filming the whole time and funny
enough he had a shark actually bumping in to him while he was filming some other
fish.
Today is New Years Eve and we will celebrate with
the locals on the island (we are still at Makogai).
We wish you all Happy New Year and do not try
to call, we are outside the range of any phone or internet (only
satellite)
Is this the year your dream will
come`true`?
You know that it's only you who can make it
happen.
There will always be obstacles to stop you, all in
all they are a big elephant that you cannot possibly take in one
bite.
So as you give your wish or goal for 2015 the
elephant will be at distant, looking cute and small.
Next morning when you wake up and it is time to
grab that elephant and start, he will be close and look down on you, being just
too big to move.
So you will say to yourselfe: "not today" and by
doing so the elephant is moved to the horizon and becoming small
again.
The secret to make a difference for yourselfe or
others is to cut the elephant into small pieces and then take one by one, one
day you will be there, you made it! In our case; no more bills coming in,
no house, no furniture and no obligations. It took us three years to get there,
but we had a date and we made a list and now we are here. And the most
remarcable thing is that it is true, Fiji exists, it's there, it's actually here
where we are.
When I look at Salsa and us I can hardly believe
that this is where we are and we made it.
Even the Fijians are wondering "did you really sail
all the way from Sweden?" But we had to stop here to realize where we
are...
Happy new year and life is a one way ticket! Make
the best of it.
