Scanned the more than 400 e-mails waiting for me and deleted most inlcuding all the meaningless and pointless drivel about the LISTSERV.  Thank you all for your support. I appreciate it.

On to the good stuff but only briefly - more when I get stateside. I had to fix a computer on Cozumel so got sidetracked on my way back to Dallas.

Got to try my new Atomic regulator (yes the titanium one).  By far the easiest breathing regulator I have ever used. With a Seacure mouthpiece I was barely even aware of it.

Got blown out the first day and the Chinchorro boat broke a shaft but I did get two days of local Xcalak diving.  It is very different.  HUGE schools of huge tarpon.  Some seemed larger than me (and that is getting onto the large size.)  School of spotted eagle rays on another dive.  Worth the drive (5 hours from Cancun airport.)  And...  at 25 USD per dive it is very very cheap.
