Okay, let me preface this by saying that I'm not perfect when it comes to grammer, spelling and punctuation. But I do try. Really I do. My Mom was an English teacher and placed great emphasis on being able to communicate in an articulate and concise manner. She considered those people who made no attempt to do so to be slovenly not only in spoken and written skills, but also saw it as a reflection of other aspects of their life such as organizational and professional skills. Okay, so maybe she was a little anal about such things, but it left a positive lasting impression on me and has stood me in good stead for many years.
With that being said, I have left my name and contact number at a couple of LDS's in the hope that I could find some new buddies to dive with. Never received any responses until now. Yesterday I got this email:
hi my name is jim i also live in port charlotte i also have cavern and thinking of cave but also like the idea of wreck and as always looking for new dive buddy thnaks jim
So I responded with:
Hi Jim,
Yeah, I'm always looking for a buddy too. Lot of times I can't find one, so I just dive solo. I dive Venice quite a bit because of the close proximity and go caving every couple of months. I'm going up next weekend to Ginnie and meeting up with some friends and camping over the weekend. Do you know any other good shore dive spots close to Charlotte County? I get offshore when I can for wrecks, but it's hard to find the time to spend a whole day diving. The only reason I can get away to Ginnie, is that I'm disgusing it as a "camping trip" for the kids
He got back to me with:
ive done that samething with ginnie camping trip there is an old mallases bardge in bradento by the beach and the shrimp wreck at boca grand alsoa beach dive
But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and check him out. Who knows, he may be a great diver!
