You don't want to be where one of these lands!

Can you say, Good Morning? Get to see most of the sun rises everyday.

Got caught in a morning shower, (on bike patrol) but had a nice rainbow.

This is by Emon Beach, where lots of shore dives take place.

A friend just got back from diving Truk, lots of neat pictures.

An active start to this New Year and somehow ended up with 6 days off! Most of the days began before sun rise and going sailing with Mike and RJ for a couple of hours and then a dive later in the day. We went to grab tanks after the holiday and got the last three tanks in the tank house. Sure was glad that I do not have to fill the tanks! This afternoon Kyle and Dan agreed to go to Ebeye for a bike trip—to the end of the roadway. We ate at my daughter-in-law’s favorite place, followed with Dan getting a haircut. The “roadway” is lacking of course; my two buddies thought it was too much and refused to go on. I warned them that their actions would be noted.

Can you hear them say "Meow"? Something was hurting......

Taken just before they woosed out, but still complaining!
Just after the hair cut-- by Dawn.
These kids wanted to know where that lady was that wore the short shorts through town was?

Modern Ebeye; just jump on the taxie if you need a ride.
A short ferry ride on the LCM and it's FREE!

I am so glad I don't have to fill tanks! We got the last filled ones for our dive! All these are waiting to be refilled.
The sailing is very relaxing and enjoyable, well no so much for RJ.
Going out at dawn revealed very nice sunrise views!

The lunar eclipse in Kwaj; beautiful night was very enjoyable. There was only a slight wind, perfect temperatures, the sound of the surf hitting the reef, all the stars brightly shining. We even saw some shooting stars and a couple of satellites tracking across the night sky.

In full eclipse; the moon looked red.

Had to wait for the moon to rise above the clouds.

Headed to watch the lunar eclipse.

Right before the eclipse there was a double rainbow--this is the Reef BQ.

The guest of "honor" last night at the Kwajalein Scuba Club Xmas party:
Not much, but can you figure out which Bachelor's Quarters room I have:

Cowries cover the outside of the shell with a flexible type skin and then pull back inside. Here is a nice size one which has not pulled completely back inside.

Fresh from the ocean.

Everyone was there for the lighting of our “Christmas tree”. The tree was over 30’ tall and nice and green (on top). The aroma coming off the tree was not what I remembered but then I have not been to many events in December dressed in T-shirt and shorts and the girls danced the hula.
It is rather skinny for a Christmas tree but it is the tropics.

A before shot the big lighting took place.

We had a good turn-out.

Chris Lewis (Okie), Dan Gooch, Kyle Smith, Greg "Tree" McCarty & Owen Haley.

Lots of folks here--everyone rides a bike here.
