Scuba Forum / General / January 2005Trip report: Diving the tsunami
OK, not really. When the tsunamis passed under our boat, we were all aboard and didn't feel a thing. Our next dive, the last of the trip, didn't reveal any underwater damage. I believe we were far north enough (still in Burmese waters), as the Mergui islands were unscathed. The next day, however, as we motored back to the Similans, we started noticing the devastation on land. Diving was canceled by the Thai authorities. We rescued 7 national park employees on Koh Tachai who had clung to trees as their dwellings (and radio) were swept away. Fortunately they were all unharmed and we offloaded them to a military boat when we got further south. That night, anchored in deep water in Phuket harbor, we kept a nervous watch out as reports of aftershocks came in. The hotel I stayed in the day before we left on the boat (Sheraton Laguna Phuket) was reportedly destroyed. Our hotel where we were headed in Krabi was likewise gone, so we decided to return to Bangkok as homeless tourists were being urged to evacuate. Phuket Airport was a nightmare and all flights were booked with hundreds of people on standby, resulting in my driving the 10 hours back to Bangkok where we just arrived a couple hours ago. I have some photos of the Koh Tachai camp. If anyone wants copies, I can e-mail them when I return on Jan 2 or maybe put them on my website. > OK, not really.

Alan > Glad to hear from you, Greg. The silence was starting to get a little > worrying. You were just worried that I'd leave you to confront the hordes of right-wing rec.scubans all by yourself. It was nice change of pace being surrounded by liberals for a change. Our boat included 2 Swiss, a Swede, a Brit, and a Singaporean, whose political views are obvious, plus two college profs from Stanford, whose political views are obvious, a liberal from D.C., a Bush hating moderate from S.D., and even a liberal from Tennessee which surprised me as I thought there weren't any left since Gore departed the state. The other Tennesseean was the sole conservative, but he kept his mouth shut as there are lots of sharks in the remote Burmese waters. Unfortunately the news of the Iraq tragedy still oozes through all the heavy coverage of the tsunami aftermath. They say that the tsunami is the greatest natural disaster of our time. But with 838 troops killed in 2004, the highest killed in action numbers since Vietnam according to AP, and the Lancet estimates that over 100,000 Iraqi deaths were attributable to our invasion. Clearly Bush is the greatest unnatural disaster in recent times. Happy New Year! >>Glad to hear from you, Greg. The silence was starting to get a little >>worrying.

If you would create a list of all leaders who were natural disaster, and included a thousand, Bush would be way at the bottom, Bush would probably beaten on the list by Clinton. How anyone can state "Clearly Bush is the greatest unnatural disaster in recent times' clearly doesn't understand much, maybe even damaged from recent tsunamis. > How anyone can state "Clearly Bush is the greatest unnatural disaster in > recent times' clearly doesn't understand much, maybe even damaged from > recent tsunamis.

Scott, you big drunken dope, even your sweetheart Bush has admitted Saddam had absolutely no connection to 9/11. Of course he just whispered it so his redneck red state constituency wouldn't hear his voice over the loud drone of Rush and Ann. By the way, Saddam wasn't an Islamic Fascist, but of course the truth never stopped you from ranting Bush's Big Lie. > By the way, Saddam wasn't an Islamic Fascist "Camel-fuckin' Bedoin", on the other hand........... >>How anyone can state "Clearly Bush is the greatest unnatural disaster in >>recent times' clearly doesn't understand much, maybe even damaged from [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > He handily forgets all the Americans murdered by the Islamic Fascists.

We know he had WMD. All he had to do was let the inspectors do their jobs - the jobs the Iraqi government agreed to. sh.t, I think sadaam hussein thought he really had the WMDs. He could still be in power, his kids alive, but he just kept playing his silly little part. He could still be the imperial leader of one of the richest countries in the world. Just couldn't abide by the concessions of GWB1 when the US called off the dogs! and Happy New Year! When do you get back? > and Happy New Year! When do you get back? We leave tomorrow night (1/2/05) and get back home tomorrow night (1/2/05) thanks to the magic of the IDL. It's about time. I like people bowing to me, but after two weeks it's getting to my head.

I never said that, did I. Saddam was a bad man. With a big ego that defied your beloved UN. So, we just went and did was the UN didn't want to do. Now, Saddam is complying to your beloved UN. But then, you favored the rape rooms, the random murdering of civies by Saddam and his sons. You love to still have him in power. Right? Oh, and he posed no real threat. How about the SCUD missile attacks against Israel, who did not attack him? That's ok in your book to.

You love to still have him in power. Right? Ask all the thousands of dead civilians, killed in the U.S. invasion, whether they'd rather still have Hussein in power or be alive. Yes, I favor random murdering of civvies by Saddam and his sons over mass murdering of civvies by Bush and his soldiers. > Oh, and he posed no real threat.

The missile attacks against Israel posed no real threat. And Israel can defend itself. > Hopefully destroyed. You buddy John Kerry thought they were there. Only when presented with Bush's falsified evidence. It's amazing that with all we now know about Bush's deception, you still believe we were somehow justified in invading Iraq. But then it's amazing that with all we now know about the evolutionary process, that you still believe in the literal words of the Book of Genesis. You are one amazing fellow, TonyP, and if you were alone you'd be a mere curiosity, something to stare at like watching the monkey masturbate in the zoo. Unfortunately a scary number of Americans share your misguided views and help to elect a President who compounds the stupidity. May God save you all for you know not what you do. > Ask all the thousands of dead civilians, killed in the U.S. invasion, > whether they'd rather still have Hussein in power or be alive.

Only so many fingers ya know. I don't know of any American troops killed by Bush. I do know that our military takes extreme caution to not kill civilians, but sometimes those which we are trying to bomb don't follow the rules that we are held to.

Too bad we couldn't have drawn 'em into Afghanistan where we can battle them in one place. Seems that Al Qaeda had relationships in and with Afghani leaders.

Not mine. I can afford to buy my gas without no stinkin' government subsidies. Ending 'gas welfare' would put an end to bad traffic and air pollution as well as lower our dependency on ever-depleting natural resources and unstable foreign supplies. >Too bad Bush didn't choose ANWR instead for his battleground: fewer innocent >>civilians to kill and he'd have his excuse to drill for oil. > >He's gotta provide gas for your Lexus. If you're driving an SUV rather than a sedan, then Bush would be drilling for oil to supply YOUR vvehicle.

I can't figure out how to get to my email and my friend has just helped me get a hotmail disposable account and get signed up on Google. It took forever but you are worth it. ;^) I don't remember your email address and can't figure out how to reply directly to you from here, so email me at my new hotmail and hopefully, I will be able to access that.

I love dis place!! Gad, I'm so freakin' computer illiterate. I can't get into my new email account, so forget that idea. Today, I dove two in the am, and did the canopy zipline tour in the aft. Just had a couple of beers with my buddy to celebrate and now we are heading to our respective places for a nap and preparations for tonight's activities. At this point, I don't think that this evening will be all that different from many of the previous evenings, except that I'll be wearing a fancier top. ;^) Catch up with you when I get home. what LOB were you on? we were contemplating doing the Aquaone dec19-26th, i was just curious to hear their take on it. heard thru our grapevine they were fine but wanted to check with you. > what LOB were you on? we were contemplating doing the Aquaone > dec19-26th, i was just curious to hear their take on it. heard thru > our grapevine they were fine but wanted to check with you. Anggun. I'd give the boat an 8 on a scale of 10. The diving, maybe a 6. |
