Crap... I'm in a bunk, in a room of men

[KiwiFi]

Wipes are a great idea, thanks.
I'm very limited with my luggage because I'm only allowed 20kg including my full diving kit. I suspect I'll be very smelly after 4 days!

It's going to be an intersting trip. Luckily we are all like minded, obviously love our diving, and can handle bunks on boats!
When I talked to reservations this week, they said that of the two quad share rooms, I am the only female! Maybe this crew don't see solo females that often.

I guess it takes a certain type of person to do these trips. Hopefully I do OK. And none of my gear breaks. And I get to see whales for the first time. Eek! So much to think about.

Short answer is sit or need to. Rocking boat.

KiwiFi, I just wanted to say that I admire your courage...I'm too much of a wuss to do brave things like that. I can't even convince myself I'll survive something like the Blackbeard's LOBs, although I want to go sooooo badly! You go girl!

The first liveaboard I did was Blackbeards and it gave me a love for the liveaboard diving venue but I didn't care much for the accommodations. If I ever decided to give it another try, I would bring a sleeping bag with me and plan to sleep up on deck and forget the bunk. Here's a link about my Blackbeard's trip:

(because we all know that we women don't )

So what you're saying is that right now (literally as I type) my wife is not in fact snoring but just sleeping away while continuing to argue with me in a language that I don't happen to understand.

I know net doc and cavers can tell you how folks change at dive sites where there are no changing rooms and only parking lots with cars.

I use my Sprinter!

I'll pay for a privilege to use this statement with my wife!

LOL! Exactly. I used to be adamant about not snoring - it's so unlady-like. BUT.......of course the standard is stupid. Women snore just as bad. Thus, snoring is not gender exclusive.

Make sure you throw them in a trash can and NOT the toilet.

Care to share the name and location of this livaboard?
