Fish and fliers

Jane writing—Last month wasn’t all work as we went snorkeling several times. I’ve never worn mask and fins before, but a session or two in the pool got me ready to go in the ocean. At Y’pao Beach (ee-powo) the lifeguards use eyes and voices to keep swimmers in line. Fast currents can pull swimmers out of ‘safe’ area. The lifeguards’ speedboat is there on dangerous days; no other boats are allowed, and no fishing either.
The inner reef is great, and has lots of colorful fish; the schooling ones gather around and some iridescent blue ones like my blue swimsuit. Our next venture will be underwater photography.



The U.S. Air Force 60th Anniversary show was at the same beach on September 8, one event in a week of celebration. I'll post you some of our pictures and try to add video-clips soon.
A B-52, then two F-16s flew over and away. The Navy helicopter arrived as planned, with rappelling Sea Combat Two-five operatives. Everyone liked the robot. And the Air Force Band of the Pacific’s Alaskan Express played at several malls and for the 60th Birthday Ball.
