More building coral nurserys… while Jen is in the middle of an Open Water Course.

I spent the morning with a few people constructing the final nurseries that will go in to the Twins dive site.

Then, while Jen was in the pool with her 4 students, I went with a few people to Junkyard, to finish off a few bits and bobs. Getting back to the beach, I thought I would take the time to go to the clinic to check my still not quite right ear.

The doc checked my ear but it was too blocked to see, so commence with a session of syringing. Then digging around she started to pull out some paper… 1 hour later, it was getting sore, so she put some oil in my ear and told me to come back in an hour. I did, and another session of pulling crap out of my ear commenced.

Finally, she had cleared most of the gunk, paper etc away from my eardrum, and could see there was no visible damage. 3 days out of the water I was told, and then return for check up. NOT A CHANCE! I am having a day out of the water before the Nursery deployment on the 11th. Then on the 12th, back to the clinic.

The moral of this story is… don’t clean out your ears with toilet paper!

For the last couple of days, we have been building some new coral nurseries sponsored by The Department of Marine and Coastal Resources.

Here is a couple of clips from the 2 hours of footage that Jen has filmed and she is going to edit it down as soon as… but a little taster below!

Thats it folks… soooo busy at the moment… which is great considering the last couple of week!

Much Love

Congratulations to all the contestants in last months Pin Up contest.! It just goes to show that a chick in a bikini can get ya big votes! Tracy won by a landslide victory. Well Done!

This month, as you may have guessed… we have a slight twist.
Meet our 3 new contestants!

First contestant from Crystal Beach, Mae Haad is Jim Bob!

Jim Bob like most Thai dogs, has several owners or none… depending on how he feels. He has a penchant for nosing around innocently when is some food left over, before quickly making a getaway. A friendly, and well groomed dog, he has a nice temperament apart from 1 little growl at Jen on our first days on the island.

Number Two from Crystal Beach, Mae Haad is Ming Mong

A new addition to the pack, Ming Mong keeps himself quiet, unless one of the boat boys appears.. This can sometimes end in a very tense stand off, unless water or kick up the bum is quickly applied. Not knowing Ming Mong too well, I keep my distance. But maybe beneath that tough exterior there beats a heart of gold…. you decide…

And our final contestant is Mr Le Pew also from Crystal

Mr Le Pew, has a knack for sleeping. He’s an expert at it, which I prefer to the moments when he is awake and yappy yap yapping.

A rather pungent dog, I keep my distance, just in case I catch something from this little stinker. But he is well loved by the Crystal Thai staff… I just struggle to see why!

Well, get voting folks… you have 1 week!
