The last couple of days have been a bit strange. We were both shocked to hear the passing of our friend Mike and haven’t really had any communication as to what happened. It’s not that surprising that no one knows as Mike didn’t really touch base that often 😀
Simon has been working non stop. Steve’s been on his visa run and Si’s had to manage ‘Crystal Images’, supervise students, deal with inconsiderate instructors as well as not getting any sleep or ‘Jenny Time’. So he’s absolutely shattered and his back has been playing up, so he’s looking forward to some quiet time.
I’ve managed to get out and do some repair work with some volunteers to JunkYard, our artificial reef. Â Due to the fact that there’s been a lot of coral damage & traffic through the site/domes in general and that we have now closed the site for repair, I’ve decided to close some of the smaller domes off with rope nurseries which has worked out pretty well but it’s a time consuming job that I hope we can finish before we return to the UK.

Just a quick post, as I am busy from the moment the alarm goes off until my head hits the pillow.
I have heard that an ex house mate of mine has passed away. No real details on what has happened.
He was a very different person. Never settling down and a true adventurer enjoying travelling and the outdoors, living his life exactly how he wanted to live it while dealing with Diabetes. Â RIP Mike… it was a pleasure knowing you.
