Last Dives
We went out with a group of seasoned divers and a crew that I knew and is always safe.
The first site was called Armageddon. It I'd the ruins of the old pier destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in 1989. In about 120 feet lie a pile of the most fantastic rubble covered with coral and lots of life.
I like to start deep and slowly spiral up around the wreck.
The second dive was BK and I took the spear gun on this one because we knew LIon Fish were in the area.
At 60 feet we started seeing Lion Fish and I opened fire killing 5 and missing one.
I glanced down at my air and realized I had breathed a lot in the last few conflicts...so I motioned to the dive master that I needed to surface.
All ended well with me having about 100 PSI. I normally surface with 500.

It Had to Happen
Yesterday we took a trip to Buck Island on a friends 44 foot sail boat.
We loaded the boat with scuba tanks, beer, soft drinks and food.
We powered over and circumnavigated the island before anchoring on the west end. Two long dives later we headed back to port under power.
The marina slip was tight and we all had our jobs at docking. I had the job of securing the line on the port side. When my time came to perform I stepped off the boat and missed the dock entirely, landing in the water unharmed.
Later unloading the boat I fell down a few stairs down below and managed to bang myself up pretty good.
This morning I have a sore body, cuts and bruises but fortunately I am okay to have my last two dives.

Lion Hunter
Lion fish are not native to the Atlantic and have no enemies. They are a serious threat to the local fish population and the reefs.
We were instructed the proper protocol of using the spear gun and what to do to the lion fish once speared.
I ended up taking 6 shots and killing 4.

St Croix Update
So far 4 dives with two more scheduled this afternoon off a boat. The second dive was a record for me. I dove to 124 feet. That is just 6 feet short of my recreational limit of 130 feet.
When we got to shore after boat dive 2 and 3 we went to our parking place and discovered every car on the street had been towed. I found a cop and he said that we were warned on the radio that there was an event today and all cars not moved were to be towed.
This was news to me.
We walked about a mile to the police station where we were supposed to get our car. There was a small crowd of people gathered that were equally pissed at the circumstance.
Soon we discovered the car had been towed to the other end of the island. I asked the cop to please call me a cab but was informed that cabs didn't run on Sunday afternoon and I would have to make other arrangements.
Finally two local Crucians gave us a lift to the impoundment area.
When we arrived we saw our car being blocked by a tow truck and one enormous man that could pass for a silverback lowland gorilla. He was huge and had massive hands. He was very black.
He stood there and made polite conversation while I argued with him. All the while we were talking he was husking coconuts with his bare hand and teeth. This requires unbelievable strength. Then once the coconut was husked he cracked open the nut with his bare hands. He dug out the meat and offered me a piece.
By now I had great respect for my new friend and gladly handed over $75 to free up my car.

St Croix Day
I left out a Johnny cake, glass of dark rum and a fatty for the old man just in case he came by.
Sure enough, this morning I saw a roach in the ashtray, the glass was empty and two bites were out of the Johnny cake.
I opened my stocking and there was smoked herring and rice, goat water and a sticky bud.
These are all good signs.
