Mad crazy busy

We've been mad crazy busy around here. I thought we left the madness behind when we moved here but I guess that's just some of the weather we brought with us. We just can't seem to help being involved in six or eight projects at once.

We've written before about the kite festival we're planning for next spring. A couple of weeks ago that project took a quantum leap and looks like it could become huge. The challenge is so much - especially regarding sponsors - has to be done NOW - or better yet, last week. So we've had meetings, presentations to prepare, a new teaser video, and we still have that Department of Natural Resources permit and it's many pages of documentation out there. I'm working on a website for that event. It's a challenge when you don't know the name of the event 'cause you don't know who the title sponsor is. Ah, the joys of special events! (I thought we left this madness behind...)

And there is the Save the Horses project. It's on a fast track. I got the basic website for Save the Horses, Inc. built this week but now it needs to be filled in with all the details.

But it's not all work-work-work. Even though the ocean has been weird for this time of year - lots of wind, choppy, wavy, and stirred up - we still go in somewhere nearly every day. Our friend and dive buddy Darryl took the picture above of Elaine and me over the reef at Natural last week.

We've been doing a lot of snorkeling at Wishing Well, just "around the corner" of the island. When Shacks is wavy, Wishing Well is usually flatter. Visibility hasn't been the best but Wishing Well has a beautiful reef and we always see something cool. And besides all those beautiful fish are willing to have us as guest in their ocean for an hour or so. It's great.

There is a new set of the best recent underwater pictures up on Flickr. I also put up some of the photos from the Ola Lola Open Golf outing at Royal Isabel Golf Club. Check those out too.
