Scuba Forum / General / March 2007Palau Pictures Now available / Key Largo in June 2007
OK Got the "above ground" pictures up on my travel_photo website. Use the URL below. Hope you enjoy. 2nd Item - As it turns out, my own LDS here in NJ is sponsoring a trip to Key Largo for the very time Dan Bracuk was planning his trip, the last week of June (06/22-07/01), so I will definitely be there. In fact, I'll be back at the very Hotel where I stayed in January. Our shop is using "Crystal Clear" Charters (not Silent World) this time. My instructor (the trip organizer) has authorized me to invite any/all rec.scuban's to dive with our shop (the boat will be privately chartered). Let me know if you want to join ($50.00 per 2 tank trip 2 trips per day, potentially some 1 tank night trips). And we *will* do the Grove! I personally will be there from 06/24 - 06/30 so I hope to see/meet some of you, finally!!! ____________________________________________ Regards, Arnold Visit my Travel Photo Website: http://www.mag3.biz/travel_photos/home_page.html Absolutely 100% SPAM free!!!! HONEST!!! :-) > I personally will be there from 06/24 - 06/30 so I hope to see/meet some of you, finally!!! Not me. I have better things to do than wait around for Dan to decide whether he's having a Dive with Dan or not. So I'm going to Grand Cayman in June instead. If there's a hurricane in June, it has a better chance of hitting Dan than me. > Not me. I have better things to do than wait around for Dan to decide > whether he's having a Dive with Dan or not.

I doubt that, but I'm impatient. If you also want to bail on the Dive with Dan, join us in Grand Cayman. We'll be at Cobalt Coast June 21-28. I'm treating myself to Advanced Nitrox/Deco Procedures as a late birthday present and getting Janna Rescue certified. Just leave any hurricanes behind in Florida, that's all I ask. > Good choice. That Dan feller is overrated. Naw, just not a big rush to rip your arms off, like that lawyer dude. Kinda figure you get to stay intact without having to pay breakfast ransom to the gorilla. Besides, more than one of us has agreed to dive any profile you set, and no offers to loan you a big tank full of carbon monoxide (damn lawyers seem to be immune to that stuff).

Maybe Sheldon is right. I should get me one of those CO monitors. Ya never know. That's probably why I became so disoriented at the Horseshoe that I lost the boat. Here I was thinking I was just a lousy navigator . . . (It also put Curtis in the moral quandary of saving a lawyer's life vs. letting him swim off into the green never to be seen ageen) I'll also blame the CO on the fact that all my pics of rec.scubans turned out to be big blurs, except for the one of Curtis which is a huge blur, and the one of ESG who disappeared Cheshire cat style and there's nothing left of him but a glove. > OK Got the "above ground" pictures up on my travel_photo website.

Fresh water simply ain't clear water. If you get a chance to dive Looe Key when you are in the Keys in June, take it. If you're polite, I might even let you on my boat. >> OK Got the "above ground" pictures up on my travel_photo website.

And sadly, the salt water in Palau wasn't all that hot either this time due to the plankton upwellings (locals said it's worse this year than normal). >If you get a chance to dive Looe Key when you are in the Keys in June, >take it. If you're polite, I might even let you on my boat. Much appreciated. I think I could break away from my group for a day if we set things up right. And hopefully the same day that the other rec.scubans are with you. Either that, or as I said, you're all welcome to dive wth my LDS on our boat. Please keep us posted. ____________________________________________ Regards, Arnold Visit my Travel Photo Website: http://www.mag3.biz/travel_photos/home_page.html Absolutely 100% SPAM free!!!!

Or both. > Visit my Travel Photo Website: > http://www.mag3.biz/travel_photos/home_page.html Look at the thumbnail picture for the Republic of Palau 2007. Do you notice the horizon? It should be level. When you take photos without leveling the camera, a very common malady, use an edit program to correct the picture. Rotation a few degrees counter clockwise will greatly improve this image. >> Visit my Travel Photo Website: >> http://www.mag3.biz/travel_photos/home_page.html [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >camera, a very common malady, use an edit program to correct the picture. >Rotation a few degrees counter clockwise will greatly improve this image. I see what you mean. Having taken it on a boat traveling at 45Kts at the time, I'm lucky it was even in focus. Many of the pics were not. I'll see if i can correct it. Thanks. ____________________________________________ Regards, Arnold Visit my Travel Photo Website: http://www.mag3.biz/travel_photos/home_page.html Absolutely 100% SPAM free!!!!

So, the dates in June are set? Hmmm, sounds like a road trip in the making. Rick Simms ************************************************ "Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars, and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons." (Douglas Adams) > So, the dates in June are set? > > Hmmm, sounds like a road trip in the making. It's quite likely, which does not mean absolutely certain, that Pat and I will be in Marathon 2007-06-17 to 2007-07-01. Travelling days would be 2007-06-16 and 2007-07-02. My vacation has been requested, which is not the same as approved. >My vacation has been requested... At least the gears & wheels are turning and burning. >which is not the same as approved. Ahhh, but we have confidence in your negotiating profundity. Rick Simms ************************** Some days, you just step on every rake you come to. |
