      "body": "<html>\n<p>&nbsp;\"There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter, seven hundred and fifty miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass. They called it the sound barrier.\"</p>\n<p>-The Right Stuff (1984)</p>\n<p>https://youtu.be/CJfvvnOJosc</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Along with the Monsoon, the departure of Johnny, and the arrival of Sebas, a demon appeared.<br>\n</p>\n<p>I feel I must clarify: I mean demon in the Eastern sense. Less the minions of Satan, Western demons represent disorder.<br>\n</p>\n<p>&nbsp;I was instructing a pair of Brits and a Russian guy, Alexandrev. The Brits were doing well, but the Russian was diving down with his arms crossed. A cross between stubborn and a non-native English speaker, he wasn’t responding to my miming/coaching.<br>\n</p>\n<p>The next day, Alexandrev was again with me. I followed 10 feet behind him as he dove, checking his posture. It had improved from the previous day, but it wasn’t perfect. Good enough for the day. He turned at 87 feet and kicked toward the surface. I met him face to face at 66 feet and watched his eyes as we kicked to the surface. He looked relaxed and normal. The pressure change from 66 feet to 33 feet is only 17%. At 33 feet (10 meters), you are feeling twice the normal pressure that you usually feel on land. <strong>Going from 33 feet to zero is the most dangerous part of a dive</strong>: &nbsp;50% pressure change and Dalton's Law. Your lungs can actually leach oxygen from your blood. This is the cause of Shallow Water Blackout - almost all Freediving fatalities-&nbsp; and I was about to witness it.</p>\n<p>Above 33 feet, Alexandrev still looked good. He was looking up, periodically, at the buoy.&nbsp; I did too because I didn’t want to headbutt someone on the buoy who wasn’t paying attention. Alexandrev moved slightly away from the line so he wouldn’t headbutt the buoy itself. I don’t remember if he broke the surface first, but I could tell that the rough sea had pulled the buoy inches from his grasp. I reached over the buoy to grab his hands. It is standard for an instructor to treat a diver like a blackout victim after every dive. We scold our student if they don’t come up and bear hug the buoy while doing the mandatory four recovery breaths.</p>\n<p>Instead of grasping the buoy as instructed, he went limp. His breath came out in a fizzle. A passing wave splashed his face. Water drooled out of his slack mouth. I was pulling him towards me, holding one hand and awkwardly grabbing his shoulder. He was shuddering against me, making half-cough sounds that told me he was not fully blacked-out. “Breath, buddy!” I shouted.</p>\n<p>Bat, having witness something similar with Angus the day before, was right there. Bat removed Alexandrev’s mask, letting him breathe through his nose. Special nerves around your nose and eyes automatically tell your brain if you are submerged or not; removing the mask tells the brain that it is okay to breathe.</p>\n<p>I held the Hunter-buoy-Alexandrev sandwich for a few moments more as he took ragged breaths. He suddenly looked and me and tried to push me away. He was out of the ‘grey area’ and didn’t have a recollection of the last 6 seconds. “Breathe, man.”&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I escorted him to the boat. Once you have a blackout or any loss of muscle control (Samba), you are done for the day. He was back diving the next day and had no problems. He knew his limits and knew to relax. A lot of people would think he suffered brain damage, but all the research shows that a minor Samba or blackout does about as much damage as a glass of cheap red wine.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The body is good at self-conservation. The pressure and low oxygen levels cause the body to shift blood from the&nbsp;extremities&nbsp;to the vital organs. The heart, lungs, and brain get most of the blood/oxygen. When oxygen levels drop even further, the brain starts shutting down \"unnecessary\" functions, like fine motor control. Even lower? Loss of&nbsp;consciousness. Even after a total blackout, the brain continues to function in \"sleep mode\" like a computer. Revival after a blackout takes mere moments; the body and brain come back \"on line\".<br>\n</p>\n<p>I have only had one Samba. It was almost a month ago and a weird dive. I wasn't quite focused. I thought I went a lot deeper than I did. I came up, feeling tired and when I grabbed the buoy, I felt faint.<a href=\"https://youtu.be/CJfvvnOJosc\"> I did my recovery breathing</a>, but I couldnt stop my lower lip from&nbsp;quivering. Shifu saw this, asked me questions and I was slow to respond. He took me back to the boat. The next day, I was felled with Dengue Fever.<br>\n</p>\n<p>For three straight days this week, someone had a similar, minor incident. Mike the Israeli had a Samba after a dive to 60 feet. A new student had a Samba after an even shallower dive. My mask mysteriously imploded and sank (alas, but it served me well for three years). The demon was disturbing our&nbsp;idyllic&nbsp;isle.<br>\n</p>\n<p>Shifu was worried. We always follow the published procedures in the manual to the letter. We don't push our students and set conservative, realistic goals for everyone. Yet, the Sambas kept happening. The human body has so many variables that can make one prone to Samba, even after a conservative dive. The body can \"over-compensate\" for the pressure change. We joked that Sebas brought a Samba demon in his luggage.<br>\n</p>\n<p>Then, one day, the Monsoon slacked off. Sambas stopped happening. Our demon gave us respite but we know he is still there. He is physics, lurking in that 50% pressure change between 33 feet and the surface.</p>\n</html>",

      "title": "The Long Dive",
      "body": "<html>\n<p>Below is one of my accounts of my sabbatical in SE Asia, learning an teaching freediving. It was a trip that consumed my consciousness for 5 years. I can't tell you how gratifying it was to address my desire to learn a cryptic art! If you have such a quest in mind, I do encourage you to go for it!&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Until then, enjoy my recount!</p>\n<p>_______________________________________________</p>\n<p>The wind makes finding deep, calm water nearly impossible. We content ourselves with a paltry 100 feet and train as best we can.&nbsp; I grow seasick while floating in choppy water which causes me to be cranky until I can descend and finally relax. Warm-ups consist of two dives to 33 feet and another to 45. Once at depth, I grip the rope, watching the particles in the water as they float by.&nbsp; The goal is total relaxation. I stay until I have the urge to breath, then pull my way to the surface. This is after arguing about the anchor, setting the lines and getting students in the water. Warm-ups are just what I need to get focused on diving for the day.</p>\n<p>My coach (Shifu) challenged me to dive to 100 feet VERY SLOWLY. My goal was to have a total dive time of 4:15.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The key, I’m sure you know, is to be very relaxed. Gripping the line I take a full breath and start to pull myself down.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The most logical way is to go headfirst, but I do the opposite.&nbsp; Like hauling a bucket up from a well, I pull myself deeper until I become negatively buoyant and sink. After that, it is like being on an elevator. I close my eyes, feel the line pass between my fingers, play music in my head and turn up the volume. I just equalize my ears and relax as my fins act like duck-feet brakes. When I get to 100 feet, almost three minutes have passed.</p>\n<p>I’m sure you are thinking that I am nuts by now. Hell, you’ve known that all along!&nbsp;</p>\n<p>So, you understand me when I say that coming up is the hard part. By this point, my brain is screaming “breathe, you idiot!” I ignore my brain (as usual) and the urge to pull up as fast as I can. My diaphragm starts contracting- an involuntary reaction to high levels of CO2 in the bloodstream. I start counting them. Ascending past 33 feet, I’ve counted 20 very strong contractions. After 21 contractions, they grow ‘softer’ and less painful.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>My buddy has met me and is swimming slowly with me from 33 feet to the surface. He can see my mask puff out and suck back on to my face as I move the good air from my mask into my lungs (secret trick!) for that last little bit of oxygen. I’ve counted 41 contractions on one dive, but I might have miscounted. Higher brain functions, like counting, start to shut down when low on oxygen.</p>\n<p>I float to the surface with a minimum of movement and grasp the buoy. Recovery breaths are similar to the “Hic Maneuver” fighter pilots (and lowly flight school aerobatic students) use to prevent loss of consciousness due to high g-forces. Blah, blah, blah! I just breathe and hold full lungs for a second before exhaling. This forces the good blood into my head and prevents a Samba.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;On the surface, my buddy watched me take the recovery breaths.</p>\n<p>I was training with Bat. Bat prepares for his freedive sessions by chain smoking. &nbsp;Bat has spearfished on the island for longer than I have had a driver’s license, so I can’t really scold him. He is cantankerous like you would expect, and excessively capable at sea.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>And Bat hates the long dives. He gave up at 3:45.&nbsp; “It is four minutes,” he growled at me after checking his watch. “This watch is wrong.” If Bat could smoke a cigarette on the way down, he would be more relaxed.</p>\n</html>",

People will rush to turn that shit off. Or dance in the street.</p>\n<p>-Instead of those impact barriers on the freeway, those ugly yellow tubs full of water, just use beercans.

After someone plows into them, there are beercans all over the place and who ever did it is obviously in trouble.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>-Import giraffes. I love those things!

They are like horses with long necks and horses alone make me happy.</p>\n<p>-If Monsanto insists upon genetically modifying plants, at least create a gumdrop tree. &nbsp;Big Rock Candy Mountain could become a reality!</p>\n<p>-Let people smoke weed when they turn 70. We don't expect them to be productive or do anything important, anyway. Why the hell not?</p>\n<p>-Find a way to compliment a coworker every day. Even if you don't like them.

Do good things for the community once in a while. (This is a very similar idea to regular churches)</p>\n<p>-If you have always wanted to go to Burning Man, don't. Start your own fest in a pasture near you. All you need is a good name. Use the same naming convention: Verb+ \"ing\" + &nbsp;Noun. Bleating Mammoth. Fracking Flower. Snoring Trumpet. And so on. Then get naked and do weird shit.</p>\n<p>-Coat your entire vehicle with Rhino-lining. It might be expensive, but you will never get a ding, never have to wash your vehicle and the resale value will be astronomical.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>-Start a food truck. Park it in you driveway.

      "body": "<html>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;My apologies for the last crappy post. I was half-asleep and jetlagged. I had the wrong title,and failed to mention that this was originally published in Hana Hou magazine in July. I did write this piece with help from my awesome editor and Lurline McGregor.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I need to try harder to give you an excellent reading experience. I appreciate the honest feedback.</p>\n<p>________________________________________</p>\n<p><strong>Four miles off the South Kona coast,</strong> bobbing on the surface in five thousand feet of water, we find what we’re looking for: a nine-hundred-pound metal ball moored to the seafloor.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Ace backs off on the throttle of the Boston Whaler and makes a slow approach to give Buddy and me a close-up look. The weathered yellow orb is coated in guano and bears two markings: the letter B and the command “Do Not Tie To Buoy.” This is B Buoy, one of fifty-four “fish aggregating devices,” or FADs, the State of Hawai‘i maintains around the Islands to make it easier for fishermen to find fish.</p>\n<p>As fishermen have long known, objects adrift—whether they’re logs, whale carcasses or even little milk crates—draw fish like a magnet. Hawai‘i’s FAD network capitalizes on fish’s weird attraction to things that float, anchoring those things in place so that fishermen know just where to go.The list of species that frequent these FADs reads like a who’s who of the pelagic zone. It includes mahimahi, ‘ahi, aku, ‘opelu and all sorts of billfish, as well as dolphins, sharks, turtles and even the occasional whale. Following their own inscrutable schedules, fish will linger for days, weeks or even months at a FAD.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Some people think of FADs as oases frequented by piscatory nomads in the blue desert that is the open ocean. I think of them as something like small-town, drive-thru burger joints drawing teenagers from miles around: Some come to hang out and dine; others cruise by just to see what’s happening, hungry or not. Every FAD fisherman knows that the buoys have seasons. May through August is the best time to find yellowfin tuna (‘ahi), August through November is when the mahimahi bite and September is the best month for marlin and other billfish. Fishermen also know that FADs run hot and cold, no matter what time of year. A FAD might be devoid of fish for a long spell, then suddenly a big school of ‘ahi parks beneath it and the game is on.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>When a FAD lights up, word spreads quickly, and fishermen from all around flock to the bonanza. The scene on the surface can get wild. Boats jockey for position. Fishing lines crisscross this way and that, with the risk of entanglement in other boats’ propellers. The tension can run high. Dirty looks and sometimes even words fly across the water. Today, however, the only life we find on the surface is a single stubborn booby sitting atop the tubular mast holding B Buoy’s navigation light. The current is stiff, so Ace motors several hundred yards up-stream to drop us off.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>“Well, let’s check it out,” Buddy says, scooping up his underwater camera and easing into the water. He’s here to photograph wildlife. I ease into the water after him, armed with a five-foot speargun. I’m here to find dinner.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Facedown in the alien environment, we see nothing more than a handful of small aku, baby skipjack tuna no longer than my snorkel. Still, I have an eerie feeling that there are large life forms all around us, just out of sight.</p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;It's clear to me that I'm on a snorkeling trip for crazy people.</strong></p>\n<p>The current scoots us along, and the FAD soon emerges out of the gloom. From a distance we see nothing more than a thin gray line, plunging downward from the surface until it vanishes in the deep. All of the state FADS have the same design: a steel sphere followed by a hundred feet of chain attached to however many hundreds of thousands of feet of polyester-polyethylene rope is needed; then comes another eighty feet of chain attached to three enormous concrete blocks. That’s it. It’s simple and ridiculously effective.</p>\n<p>When Buddy and I are almost upon the FAD, we fill our lungs and dive, letting the current whisk us beneath the big metal ball. Up close we can see the chain and buoy are encrusted with algae and coral, among which tiny fish and crabs have taken up residence. The current is too strong to swim against, so we get just a quick look at the FAD before it recedes into the distance. As we wait for Ace to pick us up, Buddy messes with his camera and I spin lazily in heavenly weightlessness, keeping a weather eye out for predators. That’s when the shark appears.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Sharks seem to understand how FADs work as well as anyone. They linger beneath the fishing boats waiting for a strike, and when a fish is preoccupied with the hook in its mouth, they move in. Every regular FAD fisherman seems to have stories of sharks taking bites out of their catch before they land it.&nbsp;I dive to confront our six-foot-long visitor, nervously pointing my speargun in its direction but with my finger off the trigger. I have no intention of shooting. My father always told me, “Don’t try to eat anything bigger than you.” &nbsp;</p>\n<p>I just want the shark to know we’re not interested in being eaten today. This is what spearfishermen do to keep a shark away from a buddy who might be reeling in a wounded, bleeding fish. In this case, however, Buddy isn’t reeling in a fish. He’s taking photos, or at least trying to.&nbsp;If photographers could cuss underwater, I’d be getting an earful right now about how I shouldn’t be chasing away his subjects.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Back in the boat, Ace proudly shows us a small aku he landed with a rod and reel while waiting to pick us up. “We can cut it up for chum! Maybe bring that shark back!” he says. Oh boy, I think. We motor back upstream and repeat the drill, this time floating toward the FAD in a cloud of recently butchered aku. And this time five sharks show up, munching lazily on the aku snacks. I don’t interfere and Buddy gets some photos.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Back in the boat I diplomatically argue that I would like to find something to eat at a FAD, not become something to eat there. Ace and Buddy see my point, and we blast north to find another buoy.The FADs around Hawai‘i can be found anywhere from three to sixteen miles from shore—all within a day’s travel out and back. The shallowest is in 656 feet of water while the deepest is in nearly 10,000.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>The FAD concept has been used for centuries, but deepwater FADs like the ones in Hawai‘i date back just four decades—and Hawai‘i was at the forefront of their development.&nbsp;The devices have since become widespread in oceans around the world, from the Pacific to the Atlantic. It all started in 1977 with a two-year experiment launched by the National Marine Fisheries Service, which anchored several FADs in deep waters around O‘ahu, Lana‘i and Hawai‘i Island.&nbsp;Fishermen quickly found that the FADs helped them catch more fish and burn less fuel than they would have otherwise. During one extraordinary weekend in 1978, fishermen at a FAD off Kona landed thirty-five thousand pounds of ‘ahi and marlin. The success of the project inspired the state to launch the Fish Aggregating Devices Program in 1980, with funding from a federal program that raises revenue through a sales tax on recreational fishing equipment. In 1996 the University of Hawai‘i took over management of the FAD program, using the buoys as living laboratories for the study of tuna and other pelagic species. “Hawai‘i has been really the pioneer in FAD-related research,” says Kim Holland, an ocean scientist at UH’s Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology and director of Hawai‘i’s FAD program. The recreational and subsistence fishermen catching fish at Hawai‘i’s FADs aren’t believed to be depleting fish stocks.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>But the same can’t be said for the commercial tuna fleets in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, which deploy their own FADs and use purse seine nets the size of multiple soccer fields to scoop up everything in the eco-systems that form around the devices. The environmental group Greenpeace has called these “the bad kind of FADs” and wants them banned. Meanwhile, fishermen in Hawai‘i continue to pluck FAD fish out of the ocean at the more sustainable rate of one at a time.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>“Even conservation groups recognize that our FADs don’t put a measurable ding in open-ocean resources,” says Holland.</p>\n<p>We arrive at the point on the chart where UU Buoy is supposed be located, but it’s not there. This isn’t unusual.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The average life span of a FAD in Hawai‘i is just over three years. A buoy can eventually break free of its mooring and go rogue, carrying its entourage of fish with it. Sometimes a fisherman finds a runaway FAD and gets the fishing all to himself. Other times—as in the curious case of Ardel Deppe—the FAD finds the fisherman.&nbsp;Deppe is a Kaua‘i fisherman who won second place in a fishing tournament after he landed a tuna and two marlin at J Buoy off O‘ahu’s North Shore. Two weeks later the same buoy washed ashore near his residence at Anahola bay. The FAD had broken away and drifted seventy-two miles across the Ka‘ie‘ie Waho channel, from O‘ahu to Kaua‘i. “It’s like it followed me home,” Deppe told The Garden Island newspaper. So he hauled the FAD ashore and reported the errant buoy to the state, but nobody came for it and the nine-hundred-pound ball still sits in his yard today.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Sometimes FADs just give the impression that they’re missing, swinging on their moorings over wide distances or dragging their anchors. Whatever the case, we find UU Buoy two miles from its location on the chart, still anchored and holding fish. As we approach, Ace lands another aku. All around us we see schools of bait stirring the surface and ‘ahi jumping. “The fish are acting weird,” Ace says. “There’s something big down there.”&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Buddy doesn’t need a second hint, and soon he’s in the water with his camera. I’m obliged to follow. Facedown again in the alien world, we see small aku and ‘ahi scurry past us, spooked by something. Between the sound of my breath in the snorkel, I hear clicks and squeals. Before long a pair of dolphins appears, a mother and calf. They seem interested in the two wetsuited idiots drifting past the big metal fish ball in their ocean, and they stop to examine us. Then, as suddenly as they appeared, they speed off into the blue. We haul ourselves back into the boat and putter around the FAD for a few minutes.&nbsp;The general wisdom is that when there are dolphins in the water, the fish will be too spooked to catch. So we leave, in search of another buoy.</p>\n<p>En route, I ask Ace if the rumors I’ve heard about secret FADs are true. “Sure,” he says, divulging the whereabouts of a few he’s stumbled across, far offshore in the shipping lanes. Ace is unusually candid. Bring up the subject with some other fishermen and they will begin casting nervous glances and clam up. Deployed by enterprising but lawbreaking fishermen for their personal use, without permits of any sort, these FADs are typically low-profile rafts, built to be as hard to see as possible. But just like the state FADs, they have limited life spans and face the additional risk of being discovered by the Coast Guard and possibly used for target practice.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>“I heard of a guy who dropped one in the water, and then the weather got bad so he headed back to shore,” Ace tells me. “When he returned, the FAD was gone. He didn’t get one fish out of it.” The high cost of building and deploying a private FAD—the rope and chain alone can run $6,000 or more—holds down the number of unauthorized FADs in Hawai‘i waters.</p>\n<p>We arrive at C Buoy, which is so close to Kailua-Kona I can see my hotel, less than four miles away. This is a popular hangout for the boats from nearby Honokohau Harbor. Today there are about a half-dozen colorful, low-slung boats mingling with an equal number of gleaming white fishing yachts, with more cabin room than the square footage of my apartment. The rules of the road are simple: The boats motor up-current, then drift with the current past the FAD, repeating over and over again.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>It seems very orderly and self-policed. We join the circular parade, and Ace casts for aku. Suddenly we hear the cry, “Fish on!”&nbsp;We cheer a fisherman in a small blue boat drifting past the buoy as he fights a midsize ‘ahi, which jumps out of the water a few times. I comment on how mellow it is out here today. No tension, no stink-eye, everybody taking turns.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>“That’s because it’s low stakes today,” Ace says. “If the marlin or the mahimahi are running, it gets competitive real fast. And when the ono are biting, it’s like a NASCAR race: Go fast! Turn left! No, turn right! That’s when tempers get heated and the combat fishing begins.”With so many barbed hooks slicing through the water, Buddy and I opt to stay in the boat.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Overhead a flock of birds circles a patch of disturbed water where the baitfish are being harassed by the ‘ahi. Ace puts our Boston Whaler in line with the other boats to drift past the FAD and land a few more aku.&nbsp;All of this life—in the sky, in the boats and in the water—has been drawn together by a simple, nine-hundred-pound metal ball tethered to the ocean floor. Some of us have fingers and toes, some of us have wings and some of us have gills, but we all want the same thing.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>As Ace puts it, “We all just want to catch fish.”&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Additional reporting by Lurline McGregor.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n</html>",
