Finding Tim

Two days ago I posted a notice under The Beach Bar looking for a mate I had met a year ago in Moz. Two hours late Island Sands responded that he and his Cousin had just been staying with her in the UAE, I have copied my reply below.

"Ok I have to admit thats pretty freaky, I met Timbo almost a year ago at Ponta Mamoli (great place) and did a little diving then two weeks later on a SCUBA trip to Sodwana... there he is swimming (from shore) to shoot fish in the highest boat traffic piece of ocean in the country.

I loaded him up onto my dive club boat "Stella" the following day once the bubble blowers have departed and we set off for 9 mile reef.

He jumped in and in no time had loaded up with few fish, i dropped a quick line to see whats down there and hooked into a beauty on a small bait stick. The wind was prety stron and by the time I landed it (10 minutes) I was 1.5km off Tim and he was nowhere is sight, I headed upwind and eventually found him (possesively) holding two fish whilst fending off a rather large Grey shark with his gun and he didnt even break a sweat.

All in all we landed about 10 fish in 30minutes .

Anyway the weird thing is that Island Sands was the first point of contact I had on this forum and is somehow linked to Tim enabling me to make contact again.

Thats too weird, but thaks for hooking us up."


Tim has a brearthold to rival that shady David Blane character. So the good news is now I am hooked up with his email address, apparantly he is somewhere in Mexico, diving of course, what a luck.
