EPN>BHAhahahaha.  :)

Well, lesse ...
- on the boat
- on the ocean
- in the ocean
- in the pub

Yup, had fun. Better than Perth, Sydney, Ouagadougou? Maybe not. But hey,
I've done 100s of dives on those reefs and enjoyed every single one.


>Wish I could join you guys, except Dubya has made such a mess over that
part of the world and making all 'Merkins PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER 1 in many
areas of the globe that the Red Sea seems not a wise choice at this time.<

Totally overblown by da mediumsae. Egypt is quite safe. 


>Upon landing at LAX this morning, after nearly two weeks out of touch
with the world, I learned that the Norwegian cruise we had booked to
depart Miami on June 29 had blown its stacks, killed several crewmen,
and the cruise had been cancelled, leaving me holding two roundtrip
tickies to Miami, and diving in Florida (anywhere) for a week is
unthinkable -- I know that'll stir up some counterpoints from them
thar locals who think Florida is the center of the universe.  :-)))))<

If I was still thar, I might've shown you some nice spots. But don't we
have some other FLA residents around here?

Whatcha doing on a cruise anyway? Backgammon tournament? Don't tell me it's
just for fun. Anyone who ever catches ME on a *cruise*: please shoot me.

>Belize, Roatan, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel -- not bad for one or two tanks
each port for divers.

They pick the dive site? Hope not.
