Only partial credit, for not having dived the Golden Triangle of
Cocos, Malpelo, and Galapagos on the same trip.  <BG>

Sea Horses, , , ,

Bring your pix to the Choo-Choo mini-NEDfest!  I'll have pics of
sea horses taken by Pros (like Steve Norvich, the Founding Farther
of the UW Photo LIST, and who went to St Vincent and took pix of
21 SPECIES of sea horsies on one trip), to pix by the newest of
newbies who took the seahorse pix, in Cozumel, only after getting
tips from Robert Delfs and several people on Scuba-SE ...  a week
ago.  :-))

Moreover, the 10th anniversary of the Choo Choo Aquarium will feature
SEA HORSES as its main theme!

great report.

or any other list than their bitching, whining, and general show of
IMPERTINENCE <bg>.

 I took over 600 digital photos of which I hope I

If you can bring your screen and show-and-tell equipment to the Choo Choo
party, I am sure we'll all let you have the floor for a few minutes of
show at the June 1 PARTY -- of your BEST ones. <G>


>Caymans, , , three weeks away!! <G>

Three DAYS away!!!   :o)

But the best is to come TWO weeks away -- the Choo Choo mini-NEDfest.
