About Me

Just happy to wake up every morning still breathing as so many of my friends have been dying getting cancer having strokes etc It is great to be active healthy and happy. Keep on smiling.


I work as a tuna spotter flying around in a Cessna 337 push pull aircraft. This is my 30th year we spend most of our time flying out of Ceduna  a small coastal town on the Great Australian Bight in the far west of South Australia.  My job is to find the southern bluefin tuna  estimate to patch size and then the skippers of the tuna boats want me to estimate the average fish size. It is a demanding job as we spend up to eight or nine hours a day staring into the water.  The National Geographic  film crew came and did a video  called "Tuna Wranglers" so if you need more information please try to see the show.  I have some details on www.kiwiwhite.com     My job has taken me all over the world  spotting  we did four years in Croatia  six years in Mexico with other stints in Malta Turkey & Solomon Islands.     Am a keen surfer for the last fifty years  a diver   commercial fisherman and a push bike rider  I go with a group just for fun.  I love travelling and have visited 74 countries over the last forty years.

More About Me

Hometown

Port Lincoln South Australia


Family

Married to Robyn for 35 years we have one daughter Sophie who is studying medicine.  I also have another daughter Michelle  she lives in Washington DC  USA.


Education

Only went to year ten high school  as my parents divorced and I had to basically fend for my self with the help of a kind aunty. Lack of education has not stopped me from achieving my goals.  I have never been without work when I wanted it. I intend to keep on tuna spotting as long as my eyes hold out as I love my job. We see so many fantastic sights over the ocean  every day is different.


Goals

 The keep fit and surf as often as possible also to keep in touch with many friends from around the world.  Just happy to be alive.


People I'd like to meet

People that are genuine. There are so many pretenders out there and I have no time for them. I love to treat people with respect and I hope for the same in return.  I have met so many amazing people in my travels and even after thirty years still keep in touch with many. Often we have overseas friends come to our home to visit us and we go to visit them in their county.
