Slices of Life: Seawater the Colour of Lapsang Souchong
The boat is full to the brim with gear. Tanks, boxes, backpacks, dive gear, four people. There’s barely room for one person to stand on the actual boat deck without standing on some piece of gear or other. I’m sitting on the back bench, struggling to bow down low enough to get my fin on my feet. The driver grabs the fin and starts helping them on, her red hair falling from under her inca wool cap. No need to do everything by yourself, this is work diving – ask for help.

Breaking the Surface 2014 – My Direct-To-DVD Sci-Fi Horror Holiday With Underwater Robots
Early October, late evening, pitch dark Croatian countryside. The bus guns its engine and rumbles off along the dark mountain road, leaving me on the bus stop with my backpack and trolley luggage, feeling confused. So, I guess the Split to Biograd na Moru bus doesn’t actually stop at Biograd, as in at the downtown bus station, but somewhere in the outskirts of the town. I check my phone, which is running out of battery fast, reflect for a moment, and turn the data transfer on for long enough to get an approximate direction to where the hotel might be. Well, it’s an interesting start.
2013 – The Year of Accomplishment, Love and Adventure
If I had to pick one word to describe this year, it would be “intensive”, followed closely by such words as “interesting”, “awesome” and “exhausting”. Whereas the year 2012 was about change and the home run for a lot of projects, 2013 was about packing those projects in and kicking off a new phase of life. After this one the suckiness of 2011 and the years around it are forgiven.
