Hello, divers!
A good time was had by all at the Gathering this past Saturday evening. And for those of you who were unable to make it, let me just say that your ears should have been ringing. Remember, the best defense against us talking about you behind your back is to be there! J
Colette brought her Hawaii pictures to share. Bill had pictures from his recent trip to the Solomon Islands. There were some wonderful shots by both and some really good diving, too, to hear the stories. Tim and Shawna didn’t have their Bonaire pictures quite ready to share, but we’ll keep the pressure on for them to have them for the next Gathering.
There were a couple of possible trips mentioned. Dan and Linda Bunn are considering a combination cruise/dive trip in November of this year. They haven’t firmed up all the details as yet but it sounds like a fun time in the Bahamas and Mexico. More details will follow once they get them to me.
Bill Utterback is looking to put together a trip next summer to Fiji. That also sounds like a wonderful trip, and if it does come together I will forward the information as he shares it with me. Keep both those in mind as you plan your vacations over the next year.
Mike Ster (and Molly, of course) was back with us. Please keep both of them in your thoughts and prayers as Mike continues his recovery. We could tell he still wasn’t 100%, since he was pretty mellow, but the ornery old coot promises to be back soon!
Hope to see you all the next time around,
Jim
