The waves look really high. You must be a good surfer.

Well, better than average back at the time.  Now I ride a wave riding kayak designed in Australia.   It's sort of a half kayak, half surfboard. Here's a wave I rode here in Panama with that equipment.

Still strapped on to my crazy kayak wave rider,  surfing here in the Rep of Panama.  Most of the time I'm riding the wave...but sometimes it rides me !


Other adventures?   A 7 ft poisonous Fer de Lance viper we whacked in our yard


I cleaned it


...and we ate it


End of snake...and  the story.

Great pics as always Alison. I hope you and Bill are well. You look it in these pics. Do those snakes get near your home or do they stay away from the house area.  My guess is word is out about Alison in the snake community.

Zig,
We find them in our garage, garden and all around...not often but enough !   Interesting the bite of the small ones are the ones that really can do you in.  They lack control of the amount of venom when young...and give you a blast.   That snake we got this month was in the same field I cut with my machete.  It's right across the street from the house.   You really have to keep your eyes open.  These are aggressive snakes.  Moths balls keep them at bay.  I toss them all around the house, house and garage.   If bitten you have to nail the snake and bring it with you to the regional government hospital 30 minutes away from our house.  That's the only way they know what antivenin to give.  Wonderful.  Meanwhile i have snakechaps now....along with high top rubber boots.  I walk softly and carry a big stick !

Here's another one we got in our backyard years ago.  Our backyard is a cliff to a river and jungle...so count on snakes there.

congrats good hunting

I used to cut that field myself.  Now we get fellows to keep it trimmed out.  But here I was chest deep in brush right where that snake was whacked
This is the spot the snake was whacked and pretty much the same spot I used to be the hero with the machete !  Yeiks
