Looks like we're leaving Portland just in time. It's supposed to be in the upper 90s and even into the low triple digits over the next few days. And the weather in Dallas, our connecting city, has finally stabilized so little threat of a Texas thunderstorm interfering with our flight schedule. I'm looking forward to the balmy mid-80 breezes of Placencia.
Like a NASA rocket right before launch, all systems are go.
If any SBers are down there during this time frame, look us up at Splash Dive Center. We'll be diving with Splash for about a week, then taking a short trip to Punta Gorda to look at dirt, then onto San Ignacio to look at Tikal. After that, I'm going to drop my wife off at Goldson and return to Placencia to dive my brains out with Splash the rest of the trip.
I just picked up a new toy, an iTorch Kraken flashlight. Amazingly bright for such a small, lightweight device with a rechargeable battery. Hopefully Splash will run a night dive at some point, so I can whip out my flashlight and proclaim, "Release the Kraken!"
T minus 23 hours 22 minutes...
