March in Cozumel 2010

[Prop Joe]

Yes Bill, Aristeo had your shears and I left him mine too. I also plan on bringing a few pair down myself next trip. Anything to promote the slaying of Lionfish. Like Sallye was saying nothing wipes out a fish population more than everyone eating them. I had tasted some Lionfish at Mr Sancho's our last day. It was OK and I usually don't even like any type of fish.
Looks like the annual March trip is getting more and more crowded... The more the merrier. I like a party!!! TVMark, myself and the wives (Renita and Kim) usually end up being there for St Patrick's day. I'm half Irish. Nothing better than having a cold, green, Cervesa at Kelly's on St Patrick's day.
Happy Easter everyone!

Had to do the CocoView checkout dive today. Was pretty funny. Razzed the DM when he got to me. He did that funny explosion of bubbles that let you know you've cracked someone up.

Saw a lionfish on the way back in. Melgar went back out to get him. May be able to try some fried lionfish before the week is out. Told him I'd had it grilled and it was good. He said it's great fried, so I'm up for trying that... especially if he does some nice spicy recipe!

Happy to report that my gear did come this time!
And yes, I did packed my carryon more fully this trip...

I was really glad I had a wetsuit already there, my mask and reg in carryon. They set me up with a nice BC. Didn't much like the Blades, though.

We flew over about 11:25 this morning. Even though I was headed to Roatan, Cozumel was tugging at my heart...

Have a blast in Roatan! Looking forward to a report. And by the way, even though I am in Minnesota, my heart is tugging for Cozumel too. Bet there are many that feel the same way.
