BUY A NEW YORK TIMES TODAY ...

... to read why I haven't been blogging.

We stumbled upon Vertical Blue 2011, a freediving competition, while visiting Dean's Blue Hole in Long Island, Bahamas, and fell under the spell of this dramatic sport -- in an equally dramatic location. I'll write much more about it soon, as well as filling in the missing blogs, so keep scrolling down in the next few weeks.

My article about freediving is in the New York Times today, in the Sports section.

Let me know how the print edition looks. How funny that I'm in 'Long Island' yet the NYT is not sold here.

A deep water thanks to my old friend Jeffrey Marcus at the New York Times for being my guide rope and to my new friend DeeDee Flores for the spectacular underwater shot.

    Thanks, Beverly! This was definitely an unexpected little side trip -- but a fun one indeed.

    Hi Kawasaki -- I knew almost nothing about freediving, but now I'm obsessed too.

    Good to hear from you. Thanks for reading! -- Tammy
