I've been grumpy.  It seems that the T&C Aggressor doesn't like to go out
much in hurricane season.  Aggressor office called me to ask if I'd go the
week before because they had no one else signed up for my week and there
were already two signed up for the week before.  So now that makes 4 of us
signed up on the Labor Day Weekend boat, but they claim they need 9 or more
to make the trip.  I know there are plenty of months left before September,
but being dissuaded this early in the game is disheartening.  Plus, me being
efficient me, I already booked my air.  I can change it without penalty, but
where else am I going to go on Delta?  I checked to see if they do a
codeshare with Continental's red-eye to Bonaire, the one that's old news,
but it looks they codeshare with Air Jamaica for that route, via Montego
Bay, and would screw up my earning Continental miles.  On the other hand,
they do a codeshare with Air France from LAX to Papeete that would earn me
miles.  But then I'd have to fly coach on a long flight.  I have to see what
my trip insurance does if the boat just plain refuses to sail.

In the meantime, I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for the T&C boat to
fill up and avidly encourage all rec.scubans, like you, to join me on the
trip.
