Pussy Cavo / Cavo Diving

The polpo was detected while snorkeling along the coastline in shallow water only a few feet deep in Cale delle Alghe at Cavo, Isola d'Elba. The next day, we saw a flatfish, a sepia and -- nautilius (!!!) even closer to the coast. Helpfull in taking these octopus shots was (again) Luigis High Tech Beastvision ActionCamera broomstick equipment as well as a piece of red film (Folie) as filter. Cala delle Alghe è situata in un piccolo golfo a nord di Cavo, in posizione ben riparata, esposta solo ad Est.

Giannutri Island Punta Secca

Giannutri - Punta secca



Punta Secca è definita da molti subacquei come una delle più belle immersioni del Mediterraneo. Si ancora ai limiti della zona proibita e si scende su un fondale di 15 metri, di sabbia molto chiara e alghe, abitato da numerosi esemplari di Pinna nobilis ed enormi spirografi. Il fondo degrada dolcemente verso nord arricchendosi con belle gorgonie bianche (Eunicella singularis) fino ad un ciglio oltre il quale si sprofonda nel blu, verticalmente per oltre 30 metri. Una parete perpendicolare, che termina oltre 60 metri di profondità, colonizzata da grandi gorgonie rosse e, nelle parti in ombra, gialle spugne Verongia cavernicola. Negli anfratti aragoste, scorfani e musdee abbondano, frutto di una politica ambientale oculata. Una profonda spaccatura ospita uno spettacolare “sciame” di gamberi Plesionica narval (attenzione poiché sono 50 metri di profondità, non avvertibili facilmente perché l’acqua è di solito cristallina). Frequente l’incontro con l’opistobranco Umbraculum mediterraneum. In acqua libera nuotano placidi grossi dentici ed enormi tanute.
Punta Secca is defined by many divers as one of the most beautiful immersions. It is still the limits of the forbidden zone and descend at a depth of 15 meters, very light sand and seaweed, inhabited by numerous specimens of Pinna nobilis and huge worms. The bottom slopes gently to the north enriched with beautiful white gorgonian (Eunicella singularis) up to an edge beyond which sinks into the blue, vertically for over 30 meters. A perpendicular wall, ending more than 60 meters deep, colonized by large red sea fans and, in the parts in shadow, yellow sponges Verongia cave. In ravines lobsters, scorpion fish and musdee abound, the result of a wise environmental policy. A deep rift hosting a spectacular swarm of prawns Plesionica narval (attention because they are 50 meters deep, not easily noticeable because the water is usually crystal clear). Frequently meeting with the opistobranco Umbraculum mediterraneum. Open water swimming placidly big snappers and huge tanute.

Words at War: Barriers Down / Camp Follower / The Guys on the Ground

Alfred Friendly (December 30, 1911 -- November 7, 1983) was an American journalist, editor and writer for the Washington Post. He began his career as a reporter with the Post in 1939 and became Managing Editor in 1955. In 1967 he covered the Mideast War for the Post in a series of articles for which he won the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 1968. He is credited with bringing the Post from being a local paper to having a position of national prominence.

Friendly was born in Salt Lake City. After graduating in from Amherst College in 1933, he came to Washington, DC to look for work. A former professor who worked in the Commerce Department hired him, but his appointment to a high position at such a young age earned him criticism in the press and he resigned. For the next year he travelled the country in the middle of the Depression, eventually returning to become a reporter at the Washington Daily News, writing a column for government employees. Less than two years later he was hired to write the same kind of column for the Post, where he was soon assigned to cover war mobilization efforts and anti-war strikes.

When World War II broke out he entered the Army Air Force, rising to the rank of Major before leaving in 1945. While in the military he was involved in cryptography and intelligence operations, finally becoming the second in command at Bletchley Park, and the highest ranking American officer there. After the war he remained in Europe as press aide to W. Averell Harriman supervisor of the Marshall Plan.

A year later he returned to Washington and to the Post, where he became assistant managing editor in 1952 and managing editor in 1955. In 1966 he became an associate editor and a foreign correspondent based out of London. Hearing rumors of war in 1967 he headed to the Middle East where he was present throughout the 1967 War and wrote his series of award winning articles. He retired from the Post in 1971, though he continued writing occasional editorials and book reviews.

During his retirement he wrote several books, and after his death the Alfred Friendly Foundation was established. It administers the Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships to bring foreign journalists to the United States for internships at prominent newspapers. The Archives and Special Collections at Amherst College holds a collection of his papers.
