Back from the 3rd Red Sea Liveaboard

Posted under Holidays & Photography & Red Sea

From the 10th of November till the 17th of November I had the pleasure of being on my 3rd Liveaboard in 2008 :)

This time we did a Sinai Classic trip. From Sharm el Sheikh, we went to Ras Mohammed, crossed Abu Nuhas, to dive the Ghiannis D and Carnatic, then back again to Thistlegorm, and the trip ended in the Strait of Tiran.

Here you can see the 5 danes doing this trip together, and Hans from Germany (the 3 other germans had left for the airport already).


From the left we have Hans, Allan, Lise, myself, Rune and Arne.
From page 2, you can see the gps tracks I logged on the trip (nearly all the trip is logges). 1 day per page.

The page is google map heavy, so might take a few moments to load. On the next trip i’ll set the log speed to less than 1 log every 5 sec, that is way to much for a boat going at 15 km/h.

My newest toy

Posted under Travelling

A lot of divers, specially underwater photographers have the same problem as I had. The big and heavy laptop for viewing pictures, doing emails and stuff like that.

I would have love to buy a Lenovo X300 laptop, but it is way to expensive, and a Mac Air does not have ethernet port, and way to few USB ports.

The solution for me was to get an MSI Wind U100 Notebook.

It only weighs 1.1 Kg with a 3 cell battery, has a nice 10″ screen, with a resolution of 1024*600. Of course that is no good for actual photoshopping, but for a preview of the pictures is good enough.

The first test, was last week when I was on the PADI IDC Staff Instructor course at Divewise on Malta. It worked perfectly, good for viewing movies in the plane, good for the instructor manual, and surfing as well.
So if you need a computer for traveling, i would surely suggest you get one of these.
