Long,

I beleive fate is what you make it.

Now a number of friends of mine also intend to go down with me and they are beginning to wonder if I have gotten soft and lazy. They are starting to joke that my nickname should be changed to Fearfull instead of Fearless. You see they have been anxious go swimming for some time now and are not scared of any currents.

In fact they have challenged me to take the plunge. Now if there is one thing in this world that I find hard to resist it is a good challenge.

Now I am not adverse to taking risk because I usually am well prepared for all the consequences of my actions. One of my preparations is I usually get a second opinion from a reliable source and as such I asked a friend what he thought.

This friend warned me that you have to be careful how long you relax on the supposed peaceful beach asleep. Sometime by the time you wake up all the action has moved on and it is too late to partake in it or even worse you find out you have been robbed and the perpetrator is long gone and there is nothing you can do about it.

You see there are risks in just about everything you do.

Long, do not worry overly much for me though, when I take that plunge I will do so extremely well prepared.

Regards,

F.F.
