Dive Log #11
Saturday, September 3, 2011
WK 22: Beginning's End / New Beginning.
My time in the Seychelles has come to an end. It seems like I arrived only yesterday, the memories from Cap Ternay still so vivid and fresh in my mind: the novelty and charm of the islands, the Kreol culture, and researching coral around Baie Ternay. Yet at the same time, it feels like I've been on Mahe for years. This little island paradise has been my home for the last 6 months, but I must move on and the future waits for no one.
