in the water

I was shocked and saddened to find that headlines yesterday about everyone's favorite Aussie, Steve Irwin, aka the Crocodile Hunter. I certainly expected him to somehow survive much longer.

Remember back in July I posted about the drownings of three young men in Pemba? I found out later that one of the three had saved eight others before he died--he went back in one last time to find the other two (one of them his cousin), but was overcome himself while looking for them. He died a hero.
