blind men and elephant fish : Happy New Year from the Maru and Aquanuts Divers!

Well the holiday season down here at Kande Beach was busy! We cooked a whole pig-on-a-spit for Christmas, partied all night to local Malawian music on New Years, and are now ready to tackle 2015 with new energy and big plans.

- At the Maru we are beginning a new surveying campaign called the "Great Lake Malawi Cichlid Survey." Stay tuned for updates and ways that you can get involved!

-Also we want to welcome Ivo, our first intern of the year when we arrives on the 5th of January! Ivo will be helping us get out Great Lake Malawi Cichlid Survey off the ground both on the internet and on the ground! Welcome aboard Ivo!

- At Joy's Place Joy is still busy in the kitchen cooking away. We've just come back from Korea with lots of specialty goodies that we love sharing with our guests. Come around!
