Its a tough life Lukey  :D :D

How many trips over have you made this year?
I'm contemplating a 2-week stint next year, as opposed to two x 1 week tours spread out. Save a bit on the airfares flying from Perth or Singapore.

Only thing is I'm not sure if my arms could take it!

You're a brave man, Kasey. Once the claw sets in, it doesn't go away quickly.

So you must have a fair few trips between now and then if you want to go in 2010???

Brandon & Kasey - I had an insane cramp on only the second day, it was my forearm muscle and part of the thumb. I couldn't let go of the bloody rod and thought I was going to die!!! It so happened that I was fighting the strongest fish of the trip  :o  :'(

If you fish for GTs long enough, you will end up one day experiencing where your whole body just slowly feels like it is desintegrating. For me, it generally starts in the forearms or legs and then spreads from there.

I've had cramps in the hands and arms on a few occasions. It's just the worst feeling not being able to move your hand and it's locked up like a claw.

Most of these images are from the Northern Reefs on New Caledonia's great barrier reef - ranging from Voh, Koumac up to the Islands of Yande and beyond. My last sets of images are from the extreme southern reef and lagoon of New Caledonia where we were based on the island of N'Ge and Isle of Pines.
