A note from abroad

Bacchus · Dec 9, 2002

Checking in from Rangiroa, where we just finished a dive with 8 very playful dolphins. What a trip it's been! Sharks, sharks and more sharks, mantas, turtles, eels you name it!

Hey Jim, thanks for sending all of the emails to everyone before we arrive. All of the divemasters and dive companies have been great. A big hello to you, Scott and Robin from Patrice, Gilles, Wendy, Medi, and of course Franck.

Time to go buy my lovely wife a pearl and myself another Hinano. Best to all. Trip report when we return in another week.

I think you're heading for Manihi soon......Give them all a big Hello from us and If you see Loic Tell him we hope he's feeling better...seemed to have had a run in with a Trigger fish..(Thierry emailed us a week ago and informed us that .... Trigger 1 , Loic 0 ...

)

Uh Oh .... Its Pearl time ...... I'm sure Allison will find a beauty .or two or three

Now that's what I can devotion - posting from FP!!!! Glad to hear you are having a great time! Of course I expected nothing less than that.....your dives sound great so far! Anxiously awaiting some pictures!

Enjoy Manihi - and yes, Allison must get some pearls from the shop there - while they are expensive - in comparision to the rest of FP - they are actually quite reasonable! Say hi to Thierry and Loic.....and give them a hug from me, okay?

I could have sworn I sold you a ticket to Baffin Island!

Hope you're having a great time, and here's something to whet YOUR appetite and to remind everyone else of what it WAS all about!

Just got back to Denver where I almost froze at the airport. Didn't have anything warm to put on!!

Actually Loic went back to France, but, Thierry says to send his regards. What a great guy he is. And a real pleasure to dive with. We actually found two new rays while we were there. Of course one will be called Bacchus, to go on the wall next to Finesse and Buzz l'eclaire.

Uh Oh .... Its Pearl time ...... I'm sure Allison will find a beauty .or two or three !!!

3 was the number. Earrings and a pendant. After the cost of everything else there it really didn't hurt that bad (yeah,right!)

Now .... Its great to hear from you ....but ......You shouldnt be playing on the boards!!!!! Get back to the R & R of the South Pacific !!! Cant wait to hear the details...... and see the pictures!!!

Got some amazing shots. All the normal stuff, sharks (gray, black, white and silver tip, and nurse and lemons) mantas, eagle rays, eels and the rest). I've got to get to work and put together a trip report. Prbably in the next few days. I did get the picture you wanted at Blue Nui in Manihi. I'll email it to you soon.

Oh yea..... Have a Hinano for Jim and myself !!!!!!

Well taken care of on that part.

Talk soon,

Steve

Finesse · Dec 16, 2002

Well ..... I'm sure you feel differently about that......

None the less .... glad you're home safe and had a great time !!!!

Cant wait to hear all about it !!!!!

Rest up .... I'm sure in the next few days we will be doing lots of "chatting"

Talk to you soon
Scott

I did get the picture you wanted at Blue Nui in Manihi. I'll email it to you soon.

As you can imagine, I've returned to 100's of emails, voicemails, real mails, and fires to put out in the office! The trip report will probably have to wait until this weekend.

Until then...here's a few pics.

Manihi - Gliding manta

Manihi - "Bacchus"

Manihi - Quasimoto from below
