    Headed to where the weather suits my clothes Saturday morning, changes in latitude, changes in attitude. I am going to dive every morning and spend my afternoons doing quality control studies on large batches of Red Stripe. Get dressed for dinner and recover the rest of the night. I hope it snows while I am gone.:nana:

    Crap I left my house at 4:30 got to the airport flew to Charlotte and took off circled for an hour and flew back to Charlotte because the radar went out had to fly back and land for 2 hours again, left and didn't get to Turks till 12:30 told myself a dive would do me good no more stress. I should not have gone to breakfast because by 10am the wind was too high so they are moving the dive boats to the south side of the island. I should have known spring in the west indies and gulf is windy, curse the sky I hope tomarrow is a better day.

    Remember you shouldn't dive within 24 hrs of a flight. You'd prob be fine in 30' or less (1 ATM) but I don't thin its worth risking "the Sickness".

    Super jealous. I wish I was diving!

    All the good diving is near reefs very few dives are over 40'. Another windy day so I went snorkeling instead only took a few waves over the snorkel. Sometimes I almost prefer snorkeling quick to get in the water and no messing with equipment, just grab fins and a mask and go.
