    One night hang...fantastic ocean spot...

    Motorcycling, diving, hanging...what could be better ;>

    At one of my favorite dive spots, I have long intended to use a beachside pavilion (which is not used at night) for a protected hang.

    The occasion finally presented itself last week. I had the pleasure of completing my oldest son's Jr. Scuba Divers license (I'm an instructor).

    We also had the added pleasure of making the trip on my bike.

    Mt Fuji was obscured by clouds, but it was a fantastic two days of diving, punctuated by a fantastic hang, bookended by a nice ride in warm weather.

    As an aside, I've not treated our hammocks with Permethrin yet this season. I was definitely bothered by the skeeters that night. Despite having a double layer bottom, I could hear the rascals below my head (no pillow) and got a few bites on my back.

    My son was in a single layer, but I rigged him up with an UQ, so no bites...

    Very nice shots! Especially liked one with you in the hammock....the netting did a nice bokeh on the clouds.

    Thanks for sharing your adventure. What a great place to hang. We seem to be having more motorcycle campers here on HF than in years past. Loved the pics....great views over the water.
    Everyone ought to believe in something....I believe I'll go set up the hammock!

    Thanks for sharing. Great job getting that young man under water at an early age. I have some great memories of being a dive shop bum as a kid while dad worked. I hope the two of you will share endless adventures together.

    So is it okay to be jealous?! I mean all around jealous - being by the ocean, hanging by the ocean, diving during the day and riding your bike! Some really nice shots.
