Awesome - it will be 3 of us, tall blonde woman, tall blond teen, and me.

Will see you there. Just look for the large white tanks with "Puffer" written on them and the dual strobe G10 setup.

Sorry to hear that. We're only here because we exchanged from Hilton vacation club to Club Intrawest after our Spain/Portugal trip got canned - was surprised there was
anything open just a month before, but pleased

sladerer, looks like we're not coming. got messed up with hotel reservations and going elsewhere the rates are rather high for a "prime season" hotel on the beach.


I agree with Pufferfish that the SeaCobra is high out of the water and rocks rather well. most of that's ok but their tank racks aren't the greatest if it's not "full" of tanks. meaning if there are empty spaces in the racks, then the bottoms of the tanks seem to slide around and can fall over or out of the racks. if they'd put some blocks of some sorth in the bottom of the tray on the tank rack that'd sure help that. or maybe coat it with "Rhino Liner" to give it some grip.

Took a day off from diving today and went out with Tres from Back Atcha for some topside fishing. Kind of slow day, one barracuda, one mackeral that got off as Tres went to gaff him and
one taken by porpoises. One good catch though -

Tres estimated him at about 40 lbs. Grilled him last night with olive oil, fresh lime juice and
a cajun spice blend - OUTSTANDING!

Out on the Sea Cobra with Puffer today - will post a report and some pics (though they'll fare
poorly by comparison).

Ok, a couple of teaser photos:

Nice - can't wait to see the rest.
