Captain's Blog: 8-11-16

Our last day of diving....!!  Each year, we have a game to see who can come up with the best "Party Hat" - the jury is still out on the winner of this year's contest - comment your winning vote please...!!!  My dive flag (should have taken this picture a week ago when it was fresh....) or Jonathan's shark hat.......

We took Bruce's Regal 2860 "Neverland" out this time to see how she would handle 4 divers and their gear......  she's a great boat - but a dive boat she will never be unfortunately....  she got us to our dive sites just fine, but struggled with all the weight unfortunately.  Not much for bugs today, but at least Jonathan caught a few more hogfish!

Another night of grilling burgers and bratts on the pier - seemingly a total success until Will dropped his Chef's knife.  Luckily, it landed on a rock about 4' down and we could just barely see it!  Will HAD TO HAVE IT BACK - so he went in after it.......  what could go wrong?


Another perfect ending here at Faro Blanco!!!

Tomorrow we cast off lines from Faro Blanco for the last time and begin our journey home.  Bruce will be tailoring Neverland back home to Melbourne and Jonathan and I will be motoring back up to Clearwater.  For now, we sit and enjoy the sea breeze from our transoms one last time, watching a distant lightning storm - CHEERS!!
