The real trip report is here...



But here's a list of the sillies- I'm sure I'll forget something. Room to remind, people!

1. Shore dive #1, I put my skin on inside out. Excuse? I ALWAYS hang/store my skin inside out. So I turned it right side out to put it on and didn't check until AFTER I'd pulled my 7 mil wet suit on overtop of it. Apparently, however, this time, I had turned it right side out when I packed it. So turning it right side out was actually turning it inside out.

2. Boat dive #1, I put my skin on backwards. Excuse? The skin was still wet from the previous day and I just wanted to get the cold, wet process of putting the lower half of my wet suit on over with! I found leg holes and put my legs in them. Again, I didn't check until AFTER I'd pulled on my 7 mil wet suit. You can dive with your skin on backwards. It's not an entanglement hazard. Now, your snorkel must be on facing forward!

3. I changed from my shorts into my skin/wet suit. Everything was on right side out and front side forward. But I set my shorts down during the process and forgot about them. They fell into the water- the boat crew recovered them. The $20 bill and credit card that were in the pockets were still there when I came up from the dive and found out what had happened :dork2:

4. Steve hums (just checking to see if you're reading this).

5. I posted on SB and played scrabble online once the ferry terminal got their wifi working again. Now that's a vacation...

Okay, it's someone else's turn now (until I remember something else to post here).
 
I sing along with the music quietly! I was concerned the shear beauty of my vocal accompaniment would distract you from driving. :D Hey, why are you laughing???

The mystery of the vanishing ankle weight?

Border crossings?

For the Arabia dive, I got all the gear on and reached down to grab my fins and gloves when I noticed my boots were unzipped and not tucked into the wetsuit. That could have been a really cold dive!
 
Maybe. Does it have something to do with the drive home???
 
Shouldn't you be asleep rather than posting pictures of yourself on ScubaBoard? :D
 
Good morning TG! Breakfast for me today is a bowl of cold cereal and coffee (brewing now). Did you have a toasted bagel or something else more exciting than cold cereal this morning?
