08/19/2008: "To the beat of your own Drum"

Brian off 'Drumbeat' said "lets go for a snorkel".
I jump at any opportunity for an explore so the two of us went outside and along the coast of Oyster island. I would normally drop close to the shore and run along the reef edge. Not Brian. He is a freediver, big fins, weightbelt, big lungs. He drops in ten metres and starts exploring where usually only the scuba divers go. Just to be different he also picks spots even they are unlikely to check.
We were anchored in deep water, a moderately strong current and with not much coral when lo and behold Brians espies a plane wreck! It was then on for young and old. We spent the next few days re-visiting the site finding new bits each time - control panel, wings, windows - even a wing mounted gun.
You never know what the day will hold if you are open to opportunity.
