JETLEV is a way to soar that will surely give you a thrill. Powered by a jet pump in the boat portion, the water flows out through the nozzles, and you’re above it all. Today, I was driving to Oranjestaad, Aruba, when I spotted the guys testing out the equipment. Couldn’t resist. So, I pulled in, got some video and did a short interview. Here it is.
Almost like a jet pack. Next time you’re in Aruba go to Red Sail Sports, and give it a try. Special thanks to Osmar and Kendrick.
A couple of airplanes were intentionally sunk in Aruba to make scuba diving sites. My friends Kent, Stuart, and Kat are avid snorkelers and divers as you know from reading The Bent Page. They were courteous enough to provide some footage so all of us who don’t breathe well under water could have a look. Check it out:
In all my years of reef building, I never sank any airplanes. Still, they make an interesting dive site, something completely different from the usual assortment of shipwrecks and such. More to come, so stay tuned.
There are a number of great places to scuba dive in Aruba. Yesterday, I sat down with my friend, Kent, for a talk about his underwater adventures on the island. He was generous enough to lend me some of his footage from the deep blue sea that is part of the interview. You’ll also meet Stuart and Kat, both of whom enjoy the sport to the max, including night dives. Check out the tape:
That was some amazing stuff, especially the night footage and the airplane. How about that turtle, too? If you like scuba diving, you’ll enjoy yourself here in Aruba. Head to the island and give it a try. I plan on assembling some more video of Kent and Stuart diving soon, including more of that airplane site. Bon dia.
With a bunch of pending book events, it was time to get some manscaping done. For the past nine months or so, I’ve been going to this little shop at the Playa Linda here in Aruba. You’ll recognize it from this photo:
A very nice Colombian lady works here so Spanish skills are helpful. If not, lots of smiles and hand gestures will do the trick. At any rate, she spends nearly an hour raking through my sticks, rendering me much more presentable than prior to this action. I didn’t think I had enough hair on my head for someone to work at it this long. Nonetheless, I’m all set and for a reasonable price. (For you ladies out there, you can have your nails done here and a number of other things. Stop by to see what’s on offer.)
Bon dia from Aruba.
