Back from Florida
OK, thats it, I'm movin!!!!
We had 7 fantastic days of weather, then we come home to this schmutz.

I was thinking about going up to Crosby, instead I'll just watch the rain.

Actually I did go up last night. I was told that my "buddy" csd, was going to be up there so I would have a place to sleep. However "NOT" CSD backed out. I had to go to my place on Millacs and stay the night. Which means I have a hangover today. Thanks Cary, a phone call wouldve been nice.

Well nuff about that, as I said we had 7 great days and we saw a lot of Florida.
We dove the Grove again. A really great dive, especially since its upright.
The 1st picture is of my favorite buddy coming out of the grove.
I dont have a hosting site so I'll have to do these pictures 1 at a time.

Here's a nice shot of a nurse. This was taken on Molasses reef. This is really a nice site. Deepest is 30 ft. up to 15. this was a 75 minute dive. We say a lot of different things, from eagle rays to sharks.

Re: Back from Florida
I have to give a plug here for Captain Gary and his shop. "Conch Republic Divers"
This shop was voted best Dive op in the keys for 2006 and I can see why.
Nice shop, helpful people, Great boat. The truly live up to their billing.
The shop is located on Tavernier Key.

He also is the only Op in Florida that is involved with Matt Johnston. In fact Gary donated a 2 tank 2 person dive to Matt's silent auction. Thats how I found out about the operation. We won that at the auction. So we did 2 trips with him. If you are ever going to the keys, I would highly reccomend this shop.
Here is a link "I hope"



and a picture of his big boat. They have two.

I mentioned the "Ocean Fest"
This was a great show. It was like the Boat show Only for diving
Lots of Dive ops and gear Manufacturers, Plus Rum. We had a great time.

These 3 girls were running a quiz. If you answered the question correctly you got a nice t shirt.

So thats another tshirt i dont have to buy. I'm all for free.

Re: Back from Florida
So you are saying you had a nice time?  Ya' had a frigging great time ;D  And we're all stowing away in your luggage next time!!!  We the wet, who enjoyed 70 degree days and a weekend of slogging through the rains,  are so jealous of you.  On your next trip to the Speigle Grove, will you please take me with you? 8)  Or do I have to wait in line behind all your other friends?
Later Dude!

No it wasnt a real Palm tree, but every thing else was real
And I was the only thing inflated after a KISS from each of these three, Yes Steph watched.
