June 3- Bile Bay and Umatac Bay dives

Gordon, Kay, and two other friends took us on two new dives.
The first, Bile (pronounced "billy") Bay, had a lot of shelf corals


A cornet fish and another fish hanging out underneath a shelf
More anenome fish


We saw a sting ray and octopus on the 2nd dive
The next 3 pictures were taken within a minute of the same octopus,
amazing how fast they change color!

Max also found an eel

June 3 and 17- Aquathon and sprint triathlon

The SDA women's ministries had "The every woman" Aquathon, trying to promote health in our churches. There were around 80 participants, if I understood correctly. The longer version that I did was 200 meter swim and 5 K run.
Right before we started there was a full rainbow- pretty neat!


I'm behind a friend. I was trying to keep up with her and not bump into her. But I realized  later that I would have been drafting off of her- not my intention!
All the participants
The group from Agat church, all of which are friends
The group from Managuisa (the church we go to)
The clinic group

The sprint triathlon was 2 weeks later. Several of my friends also participated.
It was a 750 meter swim, 13 mile bike, and 5 k run. I completed it in 1 hour, 26 minutes.
I came in 19th out of 53, with Erika (on the left) on my heals. I was 5th for women overall.
It was a lot of fun (other than the heat during the run).

May 29- Gab Gab dive

Whew, I (Kristi) guess I haven't posted pics in a while! Enjoy!
We were able to get on the Navy base and do a shore dive with some friends.
There were quite a few anenome fish
Eclipse Butterflyfish, the others I haven't gotten a chance to look up yet





A variety of soft corals

New Antenna is On the Air

This week after overcoming some difficulties antenna 1 went on the air.  It's not tuned perfectly but functional now.  Here's some pictures from the last two weeks.

The slew switch controls took Karl and I awhile to get working


Ready to go on the air
