Diving Live Aboards

Well Manny and I are getting ready to set sail again on another live aboard diving cruise. We leave Tomorrow to fly to Miami and then set sail to the Bahamas.
I'm thinking I'm not the most brilliant fish in the ocean. There have been what like 4 hurricanes hit the Caribbean and Flordia in like 24 hours (well okay weeks but still) and we are going to tempt fate and get on for God's sake of all things a sail boat. Hmmmmmmm a device powered by wind...hurricane ='s wind...maybe this isn't such a bad idea after all.

All our gear is packed. The trip is paid for..there is something to be said working at a scuba shop...you get lots of specials and shop incentives. Whooo hoooo... But don't you know...that time of the month has hit. So now here we go off to the Bahamas, and there are sharks in the water..mind you I'm not scared of sharks but I do have a good healthy respect for them, and it's that time of the month. If you never see another posting here it means that one of those black tip reef sharks came up to me with a big smile on his face holding a fork in one hand and a knife in the other and I'm now happily part of the eco-system.

I can think of better ways to go then as shark kibbles and bits but hey what the hell...I can think of worse ways to go as well. Like crashing into the side of a mountain in a firey ball as the airplane plummets to earth. (Again not scared of flying but the firey ball thing gives me some pause)

So this trip should be intresting as everyone on board will be dive store owners and or operators who are checking out this cruise to see if we are going to book future trips with the company for our customers. I'm seeing a ton of ass kissing from the crew (a good thing I guess) and a ton of strutting and preening by the other dive operation owners...(a boaring thing.) Have you ever seen a 60 year old man with a beer gut strutting around like he's Adonis...it's quite comical actually...Sighhhh sometimes in our love for diving we forget the years have caught up with us and to be honest nobody looks sexy in neoprene and with a regulator hanging out of your mouth.
There is a reason why Playboy never does any scuba diving photos of their models.

Okay here is to happy sailing, awesome diving, many adventures and not ending up as fish bait
