Just returned from a lovely diving trip. One made more special by the fact that Mr. Hippo accompanied me. Made more significant by the fact that diving brought us together. The last six months have just flown by as we have spent almost every weekend together.
The trip was fabulous. Lots of sun and crisp calm seas. We dove a few sites that the crew themselves had not been to for almost a year because of the risk of tropical storms and hurricanes. One of the other guests caught a dolphin fish also known as mahi mahi and this was grilled for us during our port stay in Bimini. This was the only land we touched during the 6 days we spent in the Caribbean sea. Bimini noted for its big game fishing....marlin and the like. Secondly, it remains the playground for the rich. Papa Hemingway himself lived in the island. The Compleat Angler, the bar he frequently patronized recently buried alas. Apparently he had a standing bet with the locales that if any of them could punch him out with one blow, he would award the winner a $100 USD. No one really knows if this money was ever collected.
