Nice entry dude. Good to put a face to the name also :-)

I envy you being so close to the sea. I'm completely mad for the ocean; scuba diving, snorkeling, ocean conservation, marine life encounters etc. Have you had any interesting encounters out there? I know the med isn't as bio-diverse as the tropics but there are some interesting things about. I'd love to live somewhere tropical by the sea where I could swim out to a reef every day to catch breakfast. #dreamingoffuturedreams ;-)

P.s. I agree with what you said about smt's driving steemit forward both in value of the tokens and in tackling the problem of bidbots. Gotta say though, I agree less with the idea that it becomes something other than a content/blogging platform. What is the point of steemit without good content to read? For me, I think that finding someway to highlight the talent on steemit to the outside world, without it being clouded by the absolute tones of spam/fluff posts that proliferate the trending due to bidbots, is the key to bringing more people from the mainstream.
