A Day At The Beach

Here’s a crazy time lapse video made during the creation of a giant whale sand sculpture made by Greenpeace Australia, presumably as part of an anti-whaling campaign.

Watch Out For Werewolves!

Tonight is the biggest full moon of the year as the moon reaches its closest orbital proximity to earth only 356,567 km or 221,560 miles away. According to NASA the moon will be 14 percent larger in our sky and 30 percent brighter than other full moons.

Some other strange lunar facts:

• The moon is moving away from Earth as you read this, by about 1.6 inches (4 centimeters) a year. Eventually it’ll be torn apart as an expanding sun pushes the moon back toward Earth for a wrenching close encounter.
• There is no proof the full moon makes people crazy.
• Beaches are more polluted during full moon, owing to the higher tides

Chasing Barracuda – Anegada, BVI

Since the first time I saw a barracuda I have spent hours chasing them. I have caught several small barracuda, but despite great efforts I have been unable to catch one that exceeds five feet in length. Big barracuda are few and far between on the island of Tortola, but in Anegada, located north east of Tortola, large cudas can often be seen while taking long walks on the beach. My girlfriend Gillian and I decided to spent four days in Anegada of Christmas this year in hopes of catching some barracuda.
