I meant to take a picture at dinner, but all of a sudden dinner is over. Dave and Joel remind me so much of hanging out with my brothers. They laugh all the time. Every ridiculous situation becomes a laugh riot. Do you remember the night trip home from Chicago in that tiny car?
They are so sunburned it is not funny (not 84' Port St. Lucy sunburned). OK, actually I guess it is funny. They both have lines where they put suntan lotion on the first day. You can see the hand prints on their shoulders. Now everything is an issue. Shirts, dive suits, aloe lotion. Everything is an issue. But also constant laughter.
We had a good day. I was in the water twice today. This is a real change from the last 21 days of constant work. Seven days a week. Twelve to fourteen hour days.
This morning I made arrangements to do the Aqua Boat excursion, but at the last minute...literally when the bus was pulling up to the beach...the boss called to say that Holland America is funny about non-cruise passengers on their excursions. So they cancelled us. The only thing I could think is that I have never told someone I would not do a private VIP tour of the museum. Maybe that is the key to making something valuable. Next time I should say no...we have cruise passengers in the building.
So, at lunch we snorkeled on White Sands Beach. This was cool. We saw a huge barracuda, an Eagle ray, and a turtle. A pretty good day. Visibility has finally recovered and the choppy seas that we have had for nine weeks seem to have subsided.
This afternoon, while Dave and Joel completed their first confined water dive, I snorkeled in front of the museum, preparing for a new tour we are testing on Thursday. I only saw anchors and shipwreck sites, but what do you want for nothin.
Anyway, dinner was great. Chinese night. We are all tired, burned, and now watching Lost. What will tomorrow hold...

Hi Neil is this is the Neail Hitch that went to West High school? If it is this is Harry Miller. I saw your blog and didnt know if this is the same person from highschool
So, I just read the first few sentences of this blog to my wife. She laughed out loud at both references. Apparently, she was in the back seat of that red Escort we were driving. And, the Port St Lucey sunburn experience was '85, just so you know. Both vivid memories! We do laugh a lot! That's good.
Yes, it is. What is wierd is that Jim got a hold of me this week and we have been emailing. Cool. Please send me an email. I would like to know what you are doing now.
