Yeah, yeah! It's a balmy 28 degrees here with heavy snowfall and about 2 inches of accumulation. You people east of me better get ready! It's supposed to be in the teens next week.

Contemplating going back for Christmas. The ticket is only $895.00 plus taxes during the week of Christmas.

I had to go to the bure early on Halloween night - I felt ill. I missed Gar's outfit!!!! Our bure was up on the hill as far away from the "dining hall" as you could get and the laughter that could be heard was unbeliveable!!! I can't wait to see the photos!!!!

Thank you for your effort and time Mandi on the dvd's - and even though I growled at you in the mornings for being so chipper - I MISS HEARING YOU LAUGH!!! Hope to see you in Turks in the spring!!!

Any word on the dvd's from Larry?? MR. FOCUS????

I heard from Larry he is working with his chain saw cleanning the mess left by the hurricane...I send him a copy of the movie Le gendarme a New york with Louis de Funes...I hope he will bring it on the nest trip...

Anyone know a good remedy to get your heart, stomach and lungs out of your throat? I just saw Ari's manta video, and I'm still not breathing....

The 'Jurassic Park' theme worked beautifully!

Thanks for the compliment Stan, I am really glad you are enjoying them. Several people have messaged me asking about when the video will be complete, so let me tell you where I am on this...

The Opener is 3.5 minutes - complete
The Lali is just over 1 minute - complete
The Mekke is 10.5 minutes - complete
The Mantas are 12 minutes - complete
The School is 18 minutes - complete
The Water fall is 4 minutes - complete
The Diving (Including the spanish dancer but not shark dive yet) - is currently 17 minutes not complete
The Island Side - not started

Here is my dilemna. I don't want the diving section to be any longer than 20 - 25 minutes... I find that its hard to get people, other than the diver themself to watch a video that is that long. So I am going to keep it to 20 minutes or so. That means much of it won't get into the video. If I find that people want something longer, I can offer a second cut maybe.

I still have another chapter to create called Island Side, this will include things at the resort... likely to be pretty short. With these sections the video is likely to be just about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Almost as long as a feature film eh??? hahaha....

Anyhow I was hoping to be done before Christmas and that is still my goal. I had a few work projects that came up, so I wasn't able to dedicate much time to it last week, but I am hot on the case. If there is anything that you wanted to see in the video, let me know, if I have a shot of it (and can find it) I will include it in the video... but i think i have most of the fun stuff in there... sea snake, nemo, dori, pipe fish, mantas, spanish dancer, sucker fish (sorry sandy and mike... i sure did laugh when putting those cuts in, although I got to say that I had the same feeling that i had under the water, when I saw Mike with his knees in the sand looking a little concerned, and there is evyerone taking pictures of him)

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hey guys, I had a couple people report corrupted DVDs. Please let me know if you have trouble with yours. Just PM me and I'll get you a new DVD. I did spot checks, but didn't verify them all.

Sorry!

Well, I think the majority of the DVD's I sent out are missing a section. Unfortunately it means reapproaching the distribution so .... Play with the 2000 photos you have and eventually I'll get another one out to everyone. No need to PM me. If you were one of the lucky ones burned in the first batch, you'll just get 2 clean copies, but I think I saved most of the first batch and mailed the second so .... be patient, I'll get them out again.

So sorry for the delay.

Mandi -

I got my DVDs today. I haven't gotten a chance to look at them, but based on everyone's comments I'm sure they're great.

I think you're an and you don't need to apologize when you're doing us all a HUGE favor. Thanks again for all the work.
