You're on!! Cool :-) I'm hoping to arrive 5-7 days (depending on my exit
from the SPUMS conference in Vanuatu) ahead of the Cayman trip.
Was going to go & annoy Crusty first ... but then I want to catch up with
Jeff .. and I want to see the Feeeshs new digs.
Err somehow methinks my WWW diving gear aint gonna be much protection in
the Cooper .. now my mind is thinking of the word *Cool* in another way -
cold.  How cold will this be at that time?

score some of those before I turn up pre-CAVNEDfest time :-)
You are a good man Mike .. not only in what you do with Rescues & such ..
but your volunteer work to help out schools, etc. It will be a pleasure to
put a face to the name :-)
