I've gone to the Tortugas at 7 knots, it took 18 hours. I'd much rather pay Rick and his fine crew to take us there, besides Rick knows all the good dive sites.

take ... what.... 15 hours?
Colin: are you getting the boat or thinking about it? I've done some sailing...

Hey, I didn't lay any claim to having anything remotely close to a hydrofoil in speed.. just that I'd have a vessel to do the trip. Besides, if I want speed I do what I'm doing this weekend.

Marvel, after what has happend to David, he is giving up diving. See the accident section on SB , flirishman started the thread there.
We should consider putting the trip into one of our names, either your's or mine.
Just let me know, so we can tell other's, I may have a few more coming also, how to join our group on this trip

he is exceedingly lucky to be alive, from what i have been able to piece together
maybe he's just shook up and he just needs time?

I think at this point the last thing is on his mind is diving, but he lost everything , and after talking with him yesturday, he has said he wouldn't be diving anymore, giving it up for good.
So at this point, either myself or Marvel should change the groups name, just waiting to hear back from her

I've been out of town on family business for the last week & a half without much internet access & even less time..... Just heard from someone else who is going on the trip!!! David spoke to his dive club about it & there are several people signing up. It looks as if we are going to easliy get our ten people at this rate. Who else is going? Anyone want to try for the whole boat (twenty spots)?
