I think the liveaboard departure date is actually June 8 ... so da Feesh
gets the Krazy One for a little longer than he thought ... and while things
are still up in the air with my actual dive travels before the CAYMAN trip
I was planning to arrive on da Feeesh's doorstep around the 3rd or 4th of
June all things going well. Might even be a couple of days earlier than
that if current flight routes change for the batter now that Qantas has
restarted some routes they stopped since the terrorist incidents.

My actual dive travels for May are up in the air as I am seriously tossing
up on NOT going to the SPUMS meet in Vanuatu then diving on the President
Coolidge wreck the following week .. instead having my usual whale shark
trip off Coral Bay with WAUPS .. then flying to Adelaide to enjoy my prize
from a photographic competition - a 4 day great white shark trip .. then up
to Sydney to dive with that body of a Viking God ;-)) ... then off to the
US.   The SPUMS meet part of the trip depends on how many of my Perth Dr.
friends are attending .. many still tentative at the moment but things
should firm up soon.

I can see my cargo of Tim Tams will have to be large enough to cover this
mini-NEDfest also :-)
