Well it would've been nice if my 2 spearguns had made it to the Philippines.. They were lost by Air France or KLM never to be seen again.....
After the guns hadn't shown up in 4 days, things were getting desperate, I couldn't look at all the perfect walls, pinnacles etc. without a weapon in my hand... so I called Mike and Cherryl at Florida Freediviers and they came to my rescue UPS'ing a Rob Allen 140 to me with 2 extra spears. Thanks a lot guys!

Last trip to visit my wife's family I bought a live pig and watched it turn into lechon with the efforts of several family members, this time we had fish lechon, feeding the extended family and all the neighboors. Don't ask me what the hell kind of fish these are, but they tasted great! Didn't get any tunas this time, last trip I ran into a nice school of albacores. Ate like a king and had a great time watching my kids enjoy the beautiful beaches and play with all their cousins, 19 days wasn't enough..... Here are some of the fish. Note the before and after shot of the first fish. Anyone know what kinda grouper that is? They call it Lapu-Lapu. Another highlight was watching a large whale shark pass under me on top of a pinnacle I was freediving on.

Peace,
Jimbo
