Orkin Man Returns !!

Mike from Dancing Dolphin popped to the surface, spit out his snorkel, and yelled: "Need a little help over here"!!! Mike had found a hole with FOUR BUGS in it. He had speared one, and the rest were on the run. ORKIN MAN (the "bug" killer) instantly leaped from the dinghy and instinctively swam to the rescue. His hand held spear was cocked, a deep breath, a free dive to 10-12 feet, ready for combat, heart pumping, eye to eye with the bug, a deadly stare-down, looking for a hand-hand hold to steady the shot....DAMN !!! The ORKIN MAN forgot his gloves....an unsteady shot...missed by 6 inches. The lobster flicked it's antenna and sauntered away to safety. Orkin Man bobbed to the surface humiliated and defeated. The Orkin Man retreated to the dinghy, head low, to retrieve his much needed gloves.

But, Orkin Man has the quite, self-assured confidence that sets him apart from other mere lobster hunters. He would return, head in the game, ready for a rematch. Orkin Man was immediately back on the hunt, properly attired. It didn't take long. The next bug was found in minutes, and this time OM didn't miss the shot (in reality, it took about 6 dives and as many shots to dispatch the lobster) ....That's why they whisper in awe behind his back....there goes OM, the infamous bug killer....(sort of like Quint from "Jaws"....)

At the end of the day, the crews had 5 lobsters in the dinghies....Last night there was a huge lobster feast aboard Dancing Dolphin with all the side dishes....we couldn't finish all the lobster, so Trudie made scrambled eggs with big chunks of lobster for breakfast. Delicious !! What a great day and evening !! We had so much fun, THE CREW decided to spend another day here at Encenada Honda, Viequez. Dancing Dolphin left this morning for Culebra, but Persephone will spend one more day here; lobster hunting and hanging...

Gotta go get suited up. That mild-mannered former lawyer will again transform himself today into THE super-hero i.e. ORKIN MAN !!

Trudie, where is my cape ?? Did Mike hide it ?? Damn !!!!!

THE CREW
