Sanyo Xacti Digital camera not so waterproof

JoseNet — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 17:26:32 +0000

Yes I was so exited when I got this thing because I really wanted to take pictures of my brothers surfing (they think they can surf), but soon enough that this little toy is just a toy to take to the pool and nothing else, because it didn’t pass the Costa Rica test, basically it starts with the humidity, it gets so humid in the tropics that the glass before the LCD screen would get very foggy and so I had to put it in the sun to let it evaporate, but more important the little camera didn’t do very well when the waves crash into it, even if the camera was in my pocket, it happened a few times a big wave will come crashing and then the camera would stop working, I had to let it sit in the sun for a full day to get all the humidity out and pray that it would work the next day. Finally it happened the salt water got to the camera and now the shutter buttons wore not working, basically that’s when I realize this piece of #$%@ was not for the ocean. I had to crack it open which included breaking some seals to scratch the rust from the button contacts and it got it working, however the camera is not (cough) "waterproof" any more. so if you are thinking about this kind of setup for the ocean, I would say forget it and go with this kind of setup which I am planning to try out soon.

And you thought surfing was hard

JoseNet — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 07:37:36 +0000

All I can say is WOW, people definitely need lots of of practice before they get the hang of standing up on a surfboard and more importantly learning some tricks and maneuvers while on the wave to make it even more fun. I actually think surfing is harder to master than snowboarding. Surfing is already hard enough now try that while recording some video, I found this video on youtube and I must say the camera person got skills, the video quality is not very good but its fun to see people doing this, it definitely gives a more realistic perspective of what’s happening out there as opposed to see it from a camera far on the beach of a camera on a moving jet ski.

Driving in Costa Rica: Part 2

JoseNet — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 04:29:15 +0000

So my brother took the car and he decided to go see the “arrivada” which is a Spanish term used in Costa Rica to describe when hundreds of turtles come from the ocean to lay their eggs at the beach, the only problem is that it only happens in the span of 1 or 2 weeks, and it usually you can see the most turtles within 4 or 5 days of those 2 weeks, and usually its right at the end of rainy season, which in Costa Rica when it rains it pours and there are places where the roads are not accessible for months, due to rivers and flooding. He was set to go the beach however he couldn’t make it, the rivers wore too high and flooding was bad, he almost got stuck but luckily there was a friendly Range Rover that pull him him of where he was stuck.

This brings me to a good point if you are set to buy a 4×4 car and your are indeed going to use 4×4 not because you can, but because you have to, a good thing to remember is to buy the 4×4 car that has the highest ground clearance, which will be helpful when driving on really bad roads with HUMONGOUS put holes, rocks and there are rivers to cross.

Big Crocodile in Costa Rica

JoseNet — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 21:36:06 +0000

A while back when I was in Costa Rica, my dad and I went in his little (21 foot) boat around the Tempisque River, we went up a little river that spins off the main river into the wild farm lands of Guanacaste, the ride is very scenic because we get to see many wild life like tons of birds and Iguanas laying around, specially the big Iguanas, we also see crocodiles once in a while, for the most part they are shy animals because they are not used to humans, but we catch this one off the water, and it was a big crocodile, it was good we didn’t get too close

Holy Cow, or should I say holy crab, I didn’t know how small baby crabs can be until I actually saw this one, this is probably not as small as other crabs but still it looks pretty small. My brother found it chilling in a shell, probably scare of us, but we only wanted to check it out and take a picture of him.

Mel Gibson’s backyard

JoseNet — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 07:30:28 +0000

It’s been a while since last time I wrote something, and I really want to keep my blog with fresh content. You might or might not know that the famous actor and movie director Mel Gibson bough some property in Costa Rica right on the beach, and I think that is a very good decision that he made because when he is in Costa Rica his life style would be more relax, by design, and I mean Nature design, just like nature intended, he bough a place that has unique access to this secluded and awesome beach and he and his guests get there using Mel’s House backyard. The property is quite big and the area is big too. In this picture you can only see his backyard access to the beach.

This the backyard entrance from the beach … VERY NICE.. I LIKE.

As you walk toward the beach you can see the vegetation is completely virgin never modified by humans.
