Hi Gang,
    I met Crusty in person last night and it was great. He is really a nice guy and I am proud to call him my friend. My husband and I had dinner with him and had a great time.
 He also gave me some pointers on e-mail which I really appreciate. Thanks Crusty, I push enter for you;-). He may come back in December with family for some diving which will be wonderful. 
Well I survived the big 40 day and thanks to Crusty and Viv I had a great day. Viv sent me a virtual bouquet and my husband was jealous and said where was his;-). 
We are going to certify this weekend hopefully, all we need is our deep dive to complete the course then on 15th of July we are off to the Poor Knights. 
Crusty has been in Auckland since Saturday the 1st and its rained everyday except today and so far its beautiful and he is leaving tonight, it figures:). 
Cheers
Sherry and Tim
