Mini-Hash......

Nice ass, Lynn !!

A Hash is an agressive walk // run through the woods, rain forest, up and down 'hills' and through streams with lots of mud. Yesterday, a group of 'hashing cruisers' turned out for a charity event to support a local school. The trail followed along the beach, through a farm, and then up, up and up through the woods. The Hash started at the Cabier Lodge which has a petting zoo. Here is Lynn ('Silver Heels 3) scratching her ....

Money raised, hard work out, cold beer....doesn't get better !! 

Scuba Diving

Diver Dave at 60 feet

Yesterday, Lynn ('Silverheels III'), Barbara, Charles ('Tusen Takk II') and I went scuba diving.  Most of my diving is boat bottom cleaning, maintaining the mooring, and finding items that I have dropped overboard.  Yesterday was just for fun. I just got an underwater case for my camera...so let's check it out.

Above, my dive buddy, Lynn ('SH III') with a 'double OK'.  Lynn just got certified as a Divemaster...
Quite an achievement...Congrats !!  Below, we swim through a school of Small Mouth Grunts.

Above, an eel gets ready to go for my throat.  He (she ?) wasn't happy with the camera flash. Note the color of the coral above Ernie the Eel.... Below, a ray dozes on the bottom bored with my attempts to photograph him.....

Note the blue around the ray's edges....

Finally, here is a lobster boldly exiting his hidy-hole, all the time laughting at me.  Clearly, he knows that the lobstering season is closed in Grenada....He may be laughing now, but I was singing: "See you in September...."

Great day blowing bubbles...Thank You Scuba Tech for making it perfect,  Diver Dave

Happy July 4th.....
