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!

Yesterday, was a complete “non” day, relaxing… trying to get the ears all good, no internet for pretty much all day prevented the usual surfing and updating of the blog etc.

Today, it was time for a test dive, the first time we have been in the water for about 10 days.

We got our kit ready, and jumped on to the longtail to head out to Junkyard. Unfortunately we mistimed it and as we reached the site, the doom bringing clouds headed in. We waited for a while to see if the rain was going to miss us, but the wind picked up and the waves got bigger.

Deciding for the safety of the poor little longtail, we turned the boat around to head back to shore, only to get hit side on by a whopper of a wave! There was a moment of “looks like Junkyard will have a new wreck”… but out of it we came, and we shot back to Crystal with our tails between our legs.

So, no test dive, but at least my feet got wet!
