Learn to play the guitar (read all 3 entries…)
More progress 17 months ago

Since the last entry I’ve made more progress. I was playing a fair bit over the Summer. My girlfriend and I have also been playing together a fair bit, which is a lot of fun.

It’s an ongoing process really, but of course the more practice you have the better you get.



swim in all the oceans
Done it. 2 years ago

I’ve swum in all the oceans. Except possibly the Arctic Ocean if it is indeed an ocean.

By ‘swum’ I mean to have swum out to a depth such that if I put my hands above my head and fully immerse them, my feet don’t hit the bottom.

Oceans:
  • Indian (Perth, my home town is on it)
  • Southern (not far from my home town)
  • Atlantic, North (from the UK)
  • Atlantic, South (from Brazil)
  • Pacific, South (from east coast Australia)
  • Pacific, North (Hawaii)
Great Seas Swum:
  • Mediteranian (Greece, Italy)
  • Carribian (Cuba)
Great Seas not swum:
  • Arctic Sea (some consider this an ocean, I’ve not swum this one)
  • South China Sea (I have paddled in Singapore however)
  • Bearing Sea (Brr! watch out for icebergs!)

There’s lots of other bodies of water listed as seas, I’ve chosen an arbitary lower limit of 2,000,000 km2 as being a ‘great sea’.



Go to all the continents in the world (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 2 years ago

I visited South America last year, as planned.

Just Africa and Antartica to go. My next trip is to Japan however.
