Mitch, you can stop swimming in circles.

:birthday:

Problem is the fin thats been sitting at the bottom of the gulf is now waterlogged. So although you may not have to swim in circles anymore one fin will be more negatively bouyant than the other which will cause the an actual physical representation of one leg being much shorter than the other and thus, like Nascar drivers, making left turns much easier than rights................

Actually, I had just now gotten the hang of it swimming with just one fin! :birthday:

Hmm... After I get the fin back and then use them for awhile, I can join the NASCAR circuit. Shoot, I thought I was going to be offered the pole position at Daytona after I was able to drive from Freeport to Houston, pack my gear, and get back in less than three hours! :birthday:

:welcome: Holy Grouper! Batfish!

Wow! Sounds like this was a great trip! I am sooo.. jealous! Been out to FG a couple of times and it was a fun time ( if you don't count the first one in which a hurricane in the gulf Did effect our whole trip, big ol' swells and no diving, but I nice boat trip to view the bouy's) After reading all the posts, and viewing the movie and pics. I got a diving high sittin' at the 'puter. Thanks for all the great discriptions and such. I definitely gotta go on one of these trips with a like group. Not to mention the group effort of WW, SR, and SP. I look forward to diving with all of you at onetime or another!!!!!

Hey there Mitchey boy? The next time we dive together I'll remember to stay to your right to stop you from veering!

Also, to Annasea and cmt489, wow to bad I didn't realize I could've had some wonderful connections when I visited Vacouver the first week in July, darn it all! I loved Vancouver and definitely would love to dive there, just for something different! Not to mention an insiders guide to Van. Maybe next time!!!

Was sorry to hear about captain Al's heart attack...bless his heart, and he is so young...say some prayers for him Robert. I am



Chef Al told me he's going to Seadrift to work. I think its more like to get away from Captain Ron.

For your info..I have a new job and a boyfriend. We just got back from Playa Del Carmen, and now we are going to Belize :cheerleader: it's ok I have known him for 2 years.

I love diving with all you guys. Your the best group is all I can say. But, I may not be single much longer, that's why I have not sent in my $25.00 LOL

I would like to dive with you all again soon, you are all happy and positive people.

Stay safe and enjoy life while you can
