Kill'em and Grill'em!

Home again after a long week diving in Grand Cayman with my internet female dive buddy from Oklahoma. The seas were rough Sunday morning and the boat was rocking and rolling, making my dive buddy sick. The next day the seas were a little calmer and the dives went smoothly. We had booked a night dive and it turned out great! Hot chocolate and muffins greeted us when we surfaced. On Wednesday after the two morning dives, I relaxed around the pool, talked to other divers, and that night enjoyed the Diver's Night Party up by the training pool....yummy ribs and chicken!

Thursday we had four dives booked, two morning dives and two lion fish dives in the afternoon. On our two dives we had inexperienced hunters and only bagged 5 of 17 lion fish spotted...not very good. Our boat did manage to kill 45 of the nasty little creatures. After the hunt they grilled them up for all to taste...hence the new saying "Kill'em and Grill'em"! Friday we left the dock in rain, but the diving was good, especially the last dive of the week.....we stayed down for about 70 minutes. Lunch that day was at Over the Edge...yummy Mahi Mahi Escovitch. During the week most of us saw sharks, tarpon, turtles, rays, lobster, crabs, a spotted Eagle Ray and lots of fish. Saturday morning it was time to pack and catch our flight home. 15 dives in the logbook this trip!

50th El Campo High School Reunion

Well.........We survived Dale's 50th El Campo High School class reunion! Friday night we met up with his old high school pals at the Firehouse Bar and Grill for dinner and drinks....plus lots of old memories. Dale loved seeing so many of his friends and catching up on old times.

Saturday was the main event and we headed back to El Campo shortly after lunch. Soon the room was filled with old classmates and old friends, and all were busy talking and catching up. Dale served as Master of Ceremonies and kept the ball rolling with his charm and wit! The only glitch of the night was when he forgot to introduce to his wife.....ME! Boy did his friends give him a hard time, but he did manage to get himself out of the "Dog House"! Later a delicious meal was served and time for more photos and visiting. The night came to an end....a big success!!!!
