Right now we're somewhere over Virginia / North Carolina and we just skirted around a couple of spectacular thunderstorms tonight. Lightning streaked across the sky, filling my window. It was as if someone had electrified large sticks of fluffy cotton...
I was in Orlando for a business meeting today. Tonight after dinner Scott, my roommate for the night, had the TV on a weather channel as we talked about stuff. The hours flew by and suddenly it was after 11 PM. We were about to turn off the TV when I...
Here's a montage of the dive videos I took in Cozumel earlier this month. I cut out most of the rapid camera movements that usually plague my videos. Hopefully you won't get seasick! :) I did two dives in Cozumel. In the first one we worked our...
Wednesday, Feb 27 - Plant City We rode the yellow horse (Pam) and Holly (me) during our riding lesson this evening. Tonight was the first time I've ever loped on a horse (faster and more comfortable than a trot, slower than a gallop). I instantly...
Video montage of the diving in Grand Cayman, January 2008. The first segment is at the beginning of the first dive, starting in 45 feet of water. We were at the top of a wall that dropped to over 2,000 feet. The group huddles up for a moment, making sure...
Soothing video of the undersea world at Roatan Island (Isla Roatan), Honduras. The sky was cloudy and it drizzled occasionally, but we were wet in the water anyway and didn't care. Best news was there wasn't any wind on this side of the island...
We're back home now. I still can't get over how beautiful the reef at Roatan Island, Honduras is. Our voyage back north from Honduras was pretty uneventful, except for .... what happened to the Cuban Refugees? There were rumors throughout the...
During the middle of the night I woke up and took a look at the Ship Map Channel. What the...? We had done a couple of zig-zags and now were doing a loop-de-loop. Huh? The map zoomed out a bit then I could see - Belize and Roatan are so close to each...
The wind gods are still in charge. We woke up early today and I immediately turned on the Ship Map Channel. On the water, still blowing 30 with gusts to 40 knots. Betcha we're not going snorkeling today. And a couple of hours later we, and everyone...
We sailed from the Cayman Islands to Cozumel New Year's night. Dave was still quarantined, and wouldn't be able to see the doctor again until this morning. Pam and I got a good night's sleep though, worn out from all the partying New Year's...
While I was diving the depths off Grand Cayman, Pam, Cindy and Dave headed off to Stingray Island to commune with those violent creatures. Now they had a great time. Pam even got kinda intimate with one, and has a picture to prove it. She said they weren't...
The Cuban refugee rescue at sea was a nice distraction from the full day at sea. It was New Year's Eve and we stayed up and partied like a couple of kids with the rest of the ship. Gotta get up early for the shore excursions, but who cares - it's...
Wow. We had such a good night's sleep last night. Sound sleep straight through until 7:30 AM. Nice. Today is a full day at sea. There's just a light wind, and the seas are very calm. It's hard to tell we're moving at around 16 knots. Pam...
It's here! Pam's special birthday. And our birthday celebration cruise, in honor of her special birthday. Here's to you, Pam! Our neighbors from waaaaay back, Cindy and Dave Lober, are able to go with us. Conveniently enough, Cindy's birthday...
The underwater housing that I'd ordered from Amazon.com arrived today, in time for the little vacation Pam and I are going to take on Sunday. For practice I rented a tank from Divers Supply (best dive shop in the world) and geared up for some underwater...
