I take a minute to snorkel the Blue Hole in Kosrae. It was in the morning while the tide was higher, but the visibility was terrible! There was some fun fish to see, not much coral, and they say there are rays that hang out there. I sure didn't see any. I tried to make this short video as good as possible . . . not my best project, that's for sure. The best thing from this is the $2.00 I found at the bottom in the sand that I had to dive down to get.

Sunday, January 29th, 2023, I get-together with my granddaughter (who is visiting during an internship) and my Brother for a music "Jam" session at his house.

All in all a very fun time. Go Krystal!!

Christmas Eve & Christmas Day 2022 we spent enjoying each other and the island of Guam. We snorkled at Gab Gab Beach just before the high tide on the Navy Base Guam, then took a road tour down to Merizo and Inarahan, then back up to Andersen AFB for some shopping. Sunday I wore my Chuukese skirt that Narlen Walter made for me and my Chuuk Women's Council handcrafted jewlrey. Missing all our wonderful friends and family this Christmas, but still find joy in the Birth of Jesus Christ!

Rain, rain, and more rain. We finally are able to catch a window of sunshine and take a boat ride out to Wulung Village area of Kosrae to see the island by boat and to snorkel. Clear water with great visibility! I didn't take any photos snorkeling this time. A great pix of a picas fish from the boat tho. Epo was our expert boat driver and Josh, owner of the Nautilus Hotel, was our snorkel guide. We sure had a great time! :D

Will Rodriguez, wife & son take us to visit the Nan Modal Ruins in Pohnpei while we were on a 5 day visit.

Joseph & I take a snorkeling excursion with Blue Lagoon Dive Shop out to Jeep Island. We start from Weno, pass Uman, then 40 min later arrive at Jeep Island, a very small island that we snorkeled all around. We swam out to the edge of the reef where it drops off to deep water. Reef sharks, colorful corals, sea cucumbers, shells, and a spotted ray. My videos under water didn't come out very well. Choppy water made for lots of small particles in the water. I could see things much better under the water than the pix came out. We were greeted on the island with fresh coconut water to drink out of the coconut. I think we were the first visitors since the covid shutdown. We visited Oct. 18, 2022. Tourism is just starting back up again, SCUBA Diving will begin 1st November, 2022.

We take kayaks out near the pier at the Truk Stop Hotel in Chuuk and goof around in the lagoon checking out the shipwreck that's nearby, jumping out of the kayak in the deeper water and practice getting back in, and enjoy the swells that come from the commuter boats that pass us.

Christmas 2020. My bro Stevan & I spontaneously play Christmas songs at mom's assisted living home. I try to play cello without music and Stevan plays his flute. Mom is listening in her tan doggy blanket.
