Jim's Tree Stand - Hunt Camp 2010

Been taking lots of crap lately for not updating the blog since spring. Have got tons of pics in the meantime. Plan on regular updates the rest of the winter.

House Guests

Hi everyone,
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I'm still alive and kicking. Have not posted since I began spring planting. Crazy busy, but almost done - only 96 acres of sunflowers left.
Last night we had two very special house guests, Jonathan and Stephanie. They are about 2/3rds of the way through paddling the entire Canadian shoreline of the Great Lakes. In distance that means they have paddled 2000 of about 3000 total kilometers!!! So, what did you do on your last vacation?
Here are some photos of their visit and links to more information.

Paul & Deb


While in Guanaja there were only two other guests at the place we stayed. Fortunately they were Paul and Deb from Ottawa. We had a great time together.

Remora

I think most of us are familiar with the group of fish called remoras or sharksuckers. Anyone who has watched Jacques Cousteau has seen these fish that have a suction cup attached to their head. Typically they attach themselves to larger marine animals such as sharks, whales, turtles and such. In addition to a free ride, these fish scavenge anything edible left behind by their host.
If you don't know about remoras click on this link.

Tracey and I were shocked to see this lonely looking remora swim up to us during a dive. At first it was very exciting - we had rarely seen remoras unless occasionally attached to some other fish - until it dawned on me what it wanted... a free ride and a host!
Luckily it considered its options and decided to turn away and look for something better. Turns out something better was our dive partner Paul. For some reason it took one look at him and fell in love.

Paul knew something was wrong. Tracey and I were pointing and laughing and taking lots of pictures.


He felt something near him but no matter how much he swatted the unknown pest away it seemed to come back - sometimes in unfortunate locations!


Finally the dive ended and we could let him in on the joke.
