Tuesday....
 I know, It's Wednesday morning. I didn't have time before I left for the West end to do my blog, and was in no shape to do it when I got back.
 So here it is....

Got up at 6 and got ready for the day.  When we putted up to the bouy, I was the one to tie the boat up to it. I got it on the first try! The first dive was to First Bight Wall. The site was covered in soft corals and we dropped off of the wall to see more seahorses! Nice slow dive. the waters were very calm and the boat ride was great. After the surface interval, we headed to the drop off dive. We got all of the divers into the water and headed to the dock to get the boat off loaded for lunch.

Lunch was fried fish, BBQ beef, and brownies. Delicious!

 After lunch, I headed back to the boat to get everything loaded for the afternoon dive to Ankas. The next dive was beautiful, but uneventful. This site is one that was effected by the earthquake a few years ago. The top of the reef had broken off, and had fallen to the depths below. It really makes you see how SLOW coral really grow. Other than a few sea fans, the reef looks like it just broke off yesterday.

We did our surface interval and headed to Cocoview wall for the drop off dive. We took the boat back to the dock, and got it broke down for the night.

 I had 1/2 hr to get cleaned up for the trip to West End.

At 4:30 we headed to the landing to meet our driver. Mitch, Deb, Tim, Barb, Mike, and I headed off.
The first stop was Sundowners. Great view on the water, and cheap drinks. I had WAY TOO MANY JD's and we decided to stroll down the street to a place to eat. Nothing was found to our liking.  We ended up stopping at a Pizza Inn for dinner. I know, drunk food....you would be right.

The ending of the night was kind of an AH HA moment for me. As we left the landing, I saw the Southern Cross for the first time! CSNY I get it.....

Pics, later today!
