Walter, try Right clicking on the link and for:

Firefox: choose 'Save Link As'
IE: choose 'Save Target As'

then choose a location on your computer that you would like to download it to.

annasea, you should be able to do the same....it is a m1v file which is an .mpg without audio.

NOPE....if that was the case then NO pictures would ever get posted. I wouldn't do anything or post anything that would EVER embarrass anyone. Remember folks, we were on a DIVE BOAT....not at a GALA where you could run fix your make-up, brush your hair, etc....

None are embarassing. But they are impressively unattractive :o

Mandi, I think 04 and 06 are great the way they are...it shows a lot of fun and laughter.

More fun than I can remember having in quite some time.

Seahuntress - Love your icon and personal pic!! When are we going to make that trip to Fl? :teeth: I hear they have really big blennies there.

:lmao: ;)

mandi

:D Mandi, I had such a wonderful time...that was the best trip ever! I wish we were all still together.
I have been too busy to even write a trip report, on how much fun everyone was. Yes I remember the blennies :D I have never laughed so much in my life :-D

My hair never saw a comb or brush from 4:30am Friday until Monday afternoon.

Do I care?  Not!

Feel free to post my pictures.

And I must admit after a night of research, you're curly locks won the most softest in the bunch.

I know there was one picture of me that night where I looked cross-eyed, so maybe you can fix that and knock about 30 lbs. off me before posting the pictures.

Hello Stingray1,

I have been too busy to write a trip report. Wish we were all back at the FG. I have never laughed so much in my life. You and Mandi were a blast! Can't wait to go on another trip. :teeth:

Enjoyed diving with you and Marvel.
Enjoyed the entire group. I needed that trip after the week I had.... :teeth: :-D :lmao: ;) :o :D :D :) :taz:

The Sea Searcher Shuffle continued and at the very last minute we wound up with a full boat.

We really dodged a bullet on this one, it turned out to be an awesome weekend, and the small thunder storms passed quickly. The coral formations were amazing, I have never seen anything so majestic on the underwater reefs.

The rig was an experience, not at all like the one I dove in Miami, we were in the confines of the rig to protect us from the current. This particular rig had 2 platforms one at about 40' the other at about 90' I believe. Obviously the currents were stronger at the 40'mark. I finally gave up and found a rope to hang on to at about 35' and just watched the fish go by. The life on the structure was incredible and so pretty. I gotta do a rig again sometime.

Stetson which is essentially a dead coral reef had its own unique topography, unlike East and West bank which indeed resemble a garden, Stetson looked more like a moonscape with small volcano shaped structure, and craters and other interesting formations.

The boat and crew were beyond wonderful, everyone was great! Definately a must do dive. destination.

Hopefully I won't have any flight issues as I head home, I hear there was 10 inches of rain in Atlanta over the last 72 hours and I need to make a stop there before heading home to Raleigh.

BlueD.

I had a wonderful time diving with you Linda...lets go on another trip together. I enjoyed your company. I've made many new friends. :birthday:

What can I say??

we had such a great weekend...it was wonderful seeing my friends, Gar, ZD, Walter, Marvel, Kamala, Mandi, Phyllis, Mitch, , Karl, John and Tom...I couldn't have asked for more fun or better diving...if anyone wonders, you really have to dive ZD's backyard! This weekend was such a blast and one that I will remember for a long time :birthday:

and I've met new life long friends: Kevin, Keith, Linda, and Carla!!

more diving, more friends :o :teeth: :o

And yes, Marvel, we must go diving in Florida soon!

Kim

Fingrabber,

Thanks for making my trip so special. You will be a great divemaster!!!
