Ooops!  I meant 4,600 more in May.  If so, then I definitely wouldn't
make it.  2,400 FDP are about all I can hope to get in May.  :-)

Speaking of FDP, did you know that each liveaboard trip on the Peter
Hughes Fleet gets one either 1 or 2 FDPs?  And when you get enough
of these FDPs, you can cash them in on ANY PhD liveaboard, up to
50% of the regular charter rate.

The Aggressor FDP (which is not called such), on the other hand, is
worth $100 per point, if you count each trip on an Aggressor liveaboard
(within a 12 month period) from the SECOND one on, as one point per
trip.  Thus, for the CAIV02NEDfest first-timers on the Aggressor
Fleet, the next trip before June 8, 2003 begets a $100 discount;
the next trip after that before June 8, 2003 begets a $200 discount.
I am not sure if there is a limit to that progression, i.e., if you
make 20 Aggressor trips (heck that's only 20 weeks) within a year,
would the last one be FREE (assuming a fare of $1995)?  :-)  I'll
have to ask Wayne Hasson the next time I see him.  :-))
