Aug. 4, 2001 Cay Sal Bahamas
Wow,, what a trip, it was great. We went with Jim
Abernethy's Scuba Adventures, Inc. There were a few minor problems,
mostly normal mechanical, some crew related. But nothing that caused the trip
not to be great. Any pictures you see of fish and lobster, were taken when I was
up and had the camera, all fish and lobster were taken free diving and not on
scuba. All the underwater pictures were taken with my new Olympus C2040- Z
digital camera in a PT-007 Olympus housing. These were taken without a strobe
light and just a standard lens. The better shots or on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday after I got used to the camera. We left West Palm on Sat afternoon, it was hot but the boat
has air conditioning so we cooled off as we left port. We s
picked our cabins and towed our gear.
This is looking in the v birth, where there is room for six. I had one of these
bunks and it was pretty nice.
 This
is a look at one of the cabins for two people.  The
boat has two full heads that were very nice and did not get clogged all week.
The shower heads were a little low, I had to get on my knees to was the soap out
of my hair.
 Later Paul the cook made chicken stir fry and we had our
first of many great meals. 
This is the galley where Paul ( below ) fixed up some good grub. It was
open the whole trip if you wanted something you could help your self. There were
all kinds of snacks and candy on the counter if you wanted them. And the phone
number for weight watchers!!!!!!!
 This
is a picture of Paul with a 25 lb yellow fin
grouper he got, and later fixed for dinner. Paul dived as well as he
cooked, he put out some great food. The salon was very roomy
with two tables to eat on and a special table just for cameras.
 We
went into Bimini Sunday morning to clear customs, then started to dive our way
down to Cay Sal. The first dive was at " Tuna Alley ". We came up
behind a " Black Beard " sail charter and did a mooring dive, into the
current and came up on a group of say twenty college divers. You'll find links
on the left for each day, each day may have links to other dives of that day. |
