I think I have forgotten how to dive it has been so long since I was in the water, so we went out for a bit of a sail and a dive this afternoon. Really good sailing conditions! The boys have decided to make it a mission to keep their shirts on while I am around with a camera...Did pretty well!

Oops, it did not last long....It is great being behind the camera!

Some were learning how to pull sails...not it is not Bazza nor me grinding, and Simeon is in town taking his oral captains license test so it is not him either!

I wanted to dive in Salt Anchorage, but too surgy, (I hear in the next 24 hours it is possible that we will be getting 10-14 foot swells from Bill, even all that distance away...). We hooked up on the Rhone and in I jumped. This offending buoy I did my safety stop on at the end and took quite a hit of stinging coral.

Lot of current today, to be expected, a bit hazy and no good pictures, but here is an anchor...

The ribs on the deep end...

A trumpetfish right on the bow...

And a Southern Ray. It was nice to be back in the water, even if my strobes did not fire!

"the pirates of Cape Cod" long time charter guests who have babied their old black dinghy along up in the cold water for centuries (and talked about getting a new one for that long as well!) finally have a new dinghy they sent pictures of. I wonder if it comes with de icer for that cold water up there???

Looking good in the dinghy Dan, Looking good!

Back to dock and I think early bed is in order...
