Letter from Mike Aw December 30th, 2014

Gosh am I glad this is the last day of this dreadful year…instead of droning about it, I shall like to share with you my year in pictures – thank you deeply for supporting my work and kind assistance. For those that hv joined me through the year, thank you for the adventures.

I know next year will be HUGE – in Jan and Feb we have orcas in Norway, follow by sharks and crocodiles in Cuba, great hammerheads in Bahamas. In March, the sardine run departing from Port Elizabeth and the in late March, our first exploratory expedition to the Kei Island to search for hammerheads and leatherbacks. In June we will jump into the Okavango delta with the Nile crocs follow by another sardine run departing from Mboyti. Well, August shall be our long awaited expedition of the century – the Elysium expedition starts from Longyearbyen, covering the Svalbard, Greenland and ending in Iceland.

Well from late September to the year end we have quite a few possibilities; of course I will try to squeeze in as much as possible. Meanwhile, remember, LIFE’S SHORT, live every day as if it is your last, and LIVE YOUR PASSION… LIVE YOUR DREAM.

I hope you will enjoy my 2014 in pictures - CLICK HERE
