Captain Paul & Alex Yeo
Regional headman for TDI/SDI SE-Asia, Alex Yeo, popped over with his family for a bit of R&R and critter hunting with the Sea Rovers Brethren this week. Was good catching up and the Singapore Brethren will be able to see us both at ADEX next year.
A couple of months ago I posted up my original PADI Open Water Diver certification, on which was written ‘Instructor OWSI – 51404 Lewandowski’.
It had been six years since we had last had contact, this was BSR (Before Sea Rovers). Lot of water under the bridge and changes in both our lives, biggest and best being we’re both fathers now 😀 But like most good friends we found ourselves picking up the friendship exactly where we left off with ease.
So this is the man to blame for setting me on the course that lead to Sea Rovers and though I have become a Master of the ‘SCUBA’ in my own right (a force that I only use for good I might add) 🙂 I still remember all that he taught me.
Thanks again Ernest for teaching me the ways of the ‘SCUBA’ and lets not leave such a big gap between conversations this time.
Ode to pipefish by the Captain
Of Muck & Pirates in the Bay be found
Ghostpipefish by the bushel abound
Ornate, Robust swim around with glee
All await a photograph from Me
Garr ! 😉
Some of the decorator crabs in Mucky Pirates Bay are getting the art of camouflage down pat. And a teeny weeny blue suckered octopus make a house in a piece of discarded pipe.
What a bunch
Thanks to Peter, Trixi and Niclas for revisiting us and bringing this back with them. See you again next year.
The Captain
Once every 6 months on the Balinese calendar we have to bless all our metal and machines.
We pray to the Gods they don’t fail us at inopportune moments.
We pray for calm seas and the wind at our backs.
For a bounty of tourist gold cards in the high season so when the low season comes we know we are secure from deprivation 🙂
Dear Gods bless this fleet and all who sail in them.
