With Sickos At Ti Point
I took our friends, Slavka and Janko Sicko, for a short trip to the Leigh area. While they were enjoying the coast and admiring natural sculptures of the Ti Point area, I went for a short dive. Even though the water was quite murky it was an enjoyable dive. As they say at home, “Sicko v poradku” (Everything is all right).
S našimi priateľmi, Slávkou a Jankom Šickovcami som sa vybral na výlet k mestečku Leigh. Kým si oni užívali scenériu a “prírodné sochy” v oblasti Ti Point, ja som sa vybral na krátky ponor. Voda bola špinavá, ale inak to bol veľmi zaujímavý ponor. Ako sa vraví u nich v rodine, “Šicko (bolo) v poradku”.
