Getting ready for the next adventure!

Hi all.


I hope everyone's new year is starting out on the right foot.

As for me I am less than a week from departing again. This time it will be to the Seychelle islands which are off the east coast of Africa. Check out the general map off the following link:

I will be spending the bulk of my time on the island Mahe which is also where the capital of Victoria is located. Our research facility is located off the North West corner of the island near
Cap Ternay.

The organization I am volunteering for is Global Vision International. Their web site with specific expedition information is located at:

With this organization I will be involved in marine conservation research by assisting project staff with gathering data on fish, coral, turtles, whale sharks and other critters. What this means is I will be SCUBA diving 5-6 days a week on the pristine reefs of the Seychelles!



My plan is to remain with the project for 10 weeks which brings me back state side at the start of April.

My hope is that I will be able to update my blog every few weeks with interesting tidbits, photos and the like.

Type at you soon!
