Glad to hear another potentially fatal accident avoided with Mark at home safe.

Sounds like the rescue team responded quite quickly do you think with all of our recent growth the number of these type of accidents will increase? Which brings me back to the point that a water safety hub ( to service Po'ohiki - Kalapana area) is much needed for cases like this where time can make the difference.

I just read the story in the paper this morning and glad to know you're OK. I haven't been reading much on the web lately so I was unaware what had happened and very surprised to see the stoy. Glad things turned out the way they did. You must own a special pair of slipper.

We were told today by a local spiritual minister. "Weather you believe in this or not please do it anyway." She then said take one of my hand woven baskets from this box, go home prepare an offering to Madam Pele. Do Asap. In the basket place Green Ti leaf something Red as Pele likes red, Gin for the same reason, food if you like a stone wrapped if you like and place it where this happened.
The minister said a some more very profound words to us. So much so that we went directly back to the fishing spot today. While there Mark (being the doubting Thomas that he is) Had to try his cell phone to see if there was a signal. No signal to be found. Needless to say he doubts less now.

Believe in something. Anything

I learned how very special even virtual friendships can be this day and would like to say how thankful I am to read that Mark is safe at home after such a near fatal incident. Happiest of Birthdays Marks and many many more Happy Returns!

Richard and Mark, Ed and I look forward to meeting you guys. We'll be there soon... a few months or so. This story is so impressive. The guy that had his head and resources together, Duane, should be given an award, as should the rescue folks.

I want to go fishing with you guys now that you know how do it smart! Duane has to go along, by the way....

Thank you for sharing this experience. And thank you Duane for saving a very nice person. And thanks Pele for Duane.
