as someone who made surfboards,
there are always those that want
to talk to me about sharks- so in
response to this I’ve been working
on this series where I ask any
one that’s around to help out.
usually I have to get in the
water and hold the fin- in this
particular case my little boy Max
is the ‘model’ and my wife Liz took
the photo. my version of a family
portrait. I like sharks well
enough, especially not too close
up.

so were were looking through some
more of our vacation fotos at the
Harmony- and we noticed what
looks like a shark circling in
the water in the background. we
drove north I guess for about 45
minutes along the coast and went
for a snorkle/swim ( which wasn’t
that great cause it was really
rough that day but on others I’m
positive it’s spectacular) and in
reviewing the fotos I noticed the
fin in the background. I think it
was called Playa Junquiallial (
or something kind of like that..)
wow!! is all I can say- looks

Your donation goes to help
rebuild a school for the children

We need to dance ourselves to

We showed up at the Nosara gas
station, and it looked closed for
the night. Here’s Tammy on her
quad. You can see her hands in
the universal gesture that means
“What? The Nosara gas
station is closed for the night?”

amidst all the traveling
problems, funny episodes
involving barf etc, major bouts
of dure, we did make it. we didn’t
get to surf the day we left
nyc/arrived Nosara but mostly
cause of ‘issues ‘along the way-
it’s easily possible and
something that is really fun,
leave NYC before dawn and surf as
the sun sets in Nosara. since we
didn’t surf we took some
photos. the sun is SO strong and
glorious here in the evening.
when the tide is ebb it is really
quite spectacular how wide the

But now I know what it’s like to
be the parent of a crying child
on an airplane, it wasn’t easy.
There was no place to change a
diaper on the whole plane (Delta
should be ashamed of themselves)
either. Somehow Liz managed to
lose Liz Max’s shoes at the car
rental place at the airport ( we
wouldn’t know that til
later ) and off we go. Somehow
not knowing makes everything go
into time warp mode- some
academic told me the term is ‘dure’
french for some weird time shift
that happens when you tell a

after getting off to a rocky
start ( Max barfed right after we
woke him up at 330AM! ) the car
that took us to the airport, was
on time and fine etc although our
travel date was pushed back by
one day due to snow storm that
never materialized. the fact that
the airline sent us emails well
after the fact is another story,
somehow it was up to us to deal.
that. I called the front desk at
the Harmony in a panic- could we
stay an extra day?? we’re arriving
a day later than planned. The
person I spoke to said “everything
