Tina and I went to the Boat show last Friday, looking for a new dive boat to replace Big Red. In Hall 1, I think I spent around 15 million then moved into Hall 2.
The only problem I have at the Boat show is-
Tina's cheque book can't keep up with me.
There were two boats that really caught my eye and I have asked for detailed quotes so I can make a decision on which boat I will buy.
If you visited the Boat show, you would have seen the Santa Vittoria. She was sold to a mystery buyer on Friday morning, unfortunately it was not me!
Saturday, was less than desirable but otherwise OK. We threw the anchor down at Foggy on Sunday, because the mooring is too far away from the cave for a comfortable swim. The viz was quite good, especially when you have grown men playing with toys and when we did eventually swim over to the cave, the viz deteriorated to a couple of metres, hence we didn't see any sharks anyway. Nice dive though.
At the Pinnacle, there were quite a few fish about, but I had a grandstand seat watching the whales and dolphins swimming by. Several whales breached not too far away.
Tony as you know went skiing last weekend and made a last minute decision to head back down to the snow this week for a few days. I don't think he has even thought about coming home yet. He is really enjoying the snow.
This weekend, we are completing a Wreck diver course, ready to head over to the Philippines and dive the wrecks off Coron in three weeks. I expect great dives on the Valiant this coming weekend with calm seas all round, plus the bonus of good viz.
