Brenda Blackburn
Californian socialite, thrillseeker, and inventor of the floating bar, Brenda is an enthusiastic underwater photographer, annoying snowboarder, and part-time cyclist. Along with her assistant, the endlessly patient Phil Goldsmith, Brenda has embarked on an astonishing number of diving expeditions in Indonesia on a bewildering array of different yachts. Sometimes, during these trips, she has managed to come up with several fairly reasonable images. As I like to encourage emerging talent, some of them have luckily found their way onto the hallowed pages of “Exploring Raja Ampat,” Ultimate Indonesia’s new scuba diving and cruising guide (see details below).
One of the images on the right shows Brenda embarrassing her assistant in what appears to be a Japanese restaurant, while another depicts her once again attempting to transform a pleasant dive boat into a gin palace with the assistance of two of her coven.
These days Brenda (and Phil) appear to be more enthusiastic about the irresponsible pastime of snowboarding, for some reason. One would have thought that they were both far too old for such a ridiculous children’s pastime, but there you go, you never can tell. Anyway, it would be good to see them both back in the water in Indonesia at some point, if they can spare the time.
