last island trip evah part II

i don´t have a lot of underwater pics from this trip because i was mostly trying to film the spawning and that´s hard work chasing those grouper all around.

but when i did get to take pictures catherine ALWAYS somehow managed to get herself in the shot.

excuuuuse me i´m trying to take a picture of orange cup coral. gosh.
i can´t even get a picture of a chocolate chip cookie star without her horning in.


the only reason i would let something like that slide is because the previous day i saw exactly how big her knife is and well, dive lightly and carry a big knife is her philosophy.

as you can see, even on our last night on the island we were all business. while catherine and adam were off taking pictures of the silly sunset joe and i took off all our gear, took a nice rinse in the ocean and then slammed down the remaining beers before they got back. as you can see, joe is very shy.


as the night went on joe and i got even funnier while i made dinner.



we had everybody in stitches!! we were so funny!!



the next morning while we were packing up to leave the island obi-Wan kenobi came by our camp to inform us that these were not the droids you are looking for.

and then like magic just disappeared.


in the meantime catherine was experiencing phoebe´s (from friends) version of gravity, where gravity wasn´t so much pulling but more like a pushing


and then we were rescued. and they brought beer. and it was good. that is until i got back and checked my bank account and it all went to hell in a hand basket.

frantic attempts to fix things over the internet didn´t work and neither did the bank to wire money. finally a desperate call home to sam (LOVE YOU MEAN IT SAM!!!!) and then catherine and adam both were very cool about it and both lent me money to get us through the month. of course now the dynamic has changed a bit. before whenever i would ask someone´s opinion about what we should do that day or when something would go slightly wrong catherine would say "whatever, it´s your project." and now whenever i ask them to do something they say "well, you know it is our project..."

bastards!
