Thanks Lee, for you welcome. Our decision to move to the gulf coast had more
to do with family matters (I have an aging aunt who lives in Clearwater)
than diving. And as I'm used to having to drive three or four hours for
decent diving I'm not too upset!

I hope we can get together in the not-too-distant future. I'd really like to
take a look at the reefs on the east coast that I've read so much about.

Cheers!

Fred
