Baja or bust

September 4 - 8 I will be celebrating my 64th birthday in a shark cage at Guadalupe Island off the west coast of Baja California surrounded by great white sharks large enough to swallow me whole. It started out as a fishing trip but all the trips were booked for August and in September they reposition for shark dives and I was intrigued by that. I mentioned it to my wife, knowing that my life insurance was fully paid and she said "I think you should go!"

So I drug out my old wet suit from my diving days years ago and found I could no longer get the zipper up. Whereupon I went on a 30-day fasting regime and dropped 13 pounds. The suit still fits me snugly and I feel like a sausage in it, but I'm too bony to be appetizing, I hope.

More details to come - including photos and vidoes taken by myself and a professional videographer with the aim of producing a movie of the adventure, providing, of course, I actually return.

Test

This is a test of our new blog created by our lovely and talented daughter Melissa. Most likely I will stumble through the learning curve (or not) and either become proficient and create a world class interesting blog that will generate millions of hits and make me rich or do nothing with it.
