I know Morphine was in there but by the time he’d mentioned the next one I was under the influence of it! Sorry. Ben

Hi Ben !
I wrote an article about your “irukandji syndrome” on my website Surf Prevention : http://blog.surf-prevention.com/2010/01/11/meilleur-job-du-monde-irukandji-syndrome/
Do you know what kind of “magic cocktail of drugs” Dr. Morris Lewin injected to you ? You can reply on my blog in english if you want.
Thanks.
Doc Guillaume Barucq. France.

Johnny, great to hear from you and your opinion as a Queenslander! It was a silly thing to do obviously being in the waters without the suit on but I have now had the experience and can tell others quite how awful it is! Suffice to say stinger suit sales in the Whitsundays have rocketed over the last few days so there is always a benefit to such a story. Have a great new year mate. Ben

Yes I can indeed confirm that Lee, the jetskis are operated under strict guidelines here with areas that they are allowed to be used in. We were operating in one of them. The Great Barrier Reef is not! Ben

Zohan, thanks so much for your kind words and I’m glad that you have enjoyed the adventures we’ve been having over the last few months. Bre is indeed the very lucky one! Hope to see you in Taiwan soon, Ben

Hi there Fabiana, I’ve been using a couple of different ones – usually a Canon Powershot D10 and sometimes my old faithful Canon EOS 350D. Thanks for the positive comments and have a great new year. Ben
