FMagyar. Great!!! My healthy addiction is kayak fishing, snorkelling and surfing. Here in the seaside tropics, the calm dry season is perfect for fishing and snorkelling. In the stormy rainy season, which has just begun, I surf the offshore island reef when we get ocean swell.
I love seeing and feeling the contrast in the sea and the sky. The different colours and fragrances is a treat to the senses.
I think my footprint is low-aside from the energy and materials to make my equipment. Though, the equipment is durable and will last some time before it needs to be replaced.
My unhealthy addiction is surfboard riding, where I will fly thousands of kilometres by aircraft and travel hundreds of kilometres by boat to find waves.
The price of sanity can be high or low.
Thaicoon, good to know there are some kindred spirits out there! I've been all over the world from the frozen north to the Amazon rain forest but it's when I'm out on the ocean that I feel the most alive.
I don't have to travel too far to get out on a coral reef, from my door to the closest reef including the drive to the beach is only about 4 miles so my footprint is usually pretty light.
