Sunburns Corona style

July 6, 2020

Yesterday we went on a whale watching tour. We will post about that later. Back at home, I was about to start on the siesta when Cristina noticed not just the burn-shadow of my sunglasses but also that of the mask. Because I did get sun-burnt, in spite of spending virtually the entire morning in … More Sunburns Corona style

The lazy whale watcher

July 4, 2020

‘So, why haven’t we seen one yet?’ I asked jokingly. ‘After all, it is the first of July’. At the end of the afternoon, I decided to point the telescope at the horizon … More The lazy whale watcher

New photo album: Diving around Isla del Caño

June 21, 2020

The diving was awesome. I have never seen so many fish in one dive. However, I notice that the photos don’t really convey it because it was very cloudy and thus quite dark at 20 m. Because of the bad light, many photos came out blurred. Still, there are some pictures and movies worth showing. … More New photo album: Diving around Isla del Caño
