Wreckmania # 3

Swamp Rat,

I think you mean Grapa. It comes in many flavors. My personal experience with the stuff was a blueberry flavor but same response. We had been at Aviano AFB about a week and we went downtown into the villiage for dinner. The waitress asked us if we wanted a shot of Grapa to help with digestion. We were all game so we took a shot. By the time we got back to the gate, I couldn't feel my ears or nose. It only got worse from there. I spent the night sleeping face down on a picnic table with my face hanging off the end over a 55 gallon trash barrel.

I swore off Grapa after that. I knew some guys who brought bottles of it back to the states as gifts for friends and family. You have to worry about someone who thinks that is a gift!

When I think back on all the crap,
I learned from Walter...
It's wonder that -I-
Can dive at all!
And though my lack of penetration
hasn't hurt me none!
I can still do my deco,
On a wall!!!

Wrecka-maaaaaaaaniacs
We're diving deep in the ocean!
A dozen bo-o-dies in motion!
Penetrating wrecks
that are thirty meters deep, Oh yeah!

Dee's got her Oly-y-ympus camera
Wishin' you a-a-all was down there,
Tieing off lines,
and then singing these parodies...

If you took all the wrecks I knew,
'fore I met Walter.
And put them all together for one dive!
You know I never was that safe,
Till I learned this from Walter...
Always take a line when you go inside!

Wrecka-maaaaaaaaniacs
We're diving deep in the ocean!
A dozen bo-o-dies in perfect motion!
Penetrating wrecks
that are thirty meters deep, Oh yeah!

Dee's got her Oly-y-ympus camera
Wishin' you a-a-all was down there,
Tieing off lines,
and then singing these parodies...

We sure do need a gee-tar picker on this trip! Or maybe a Kareoke machine with the music from all your parodies. Yea...we could all sing along!

I have some sad news for Sunshinefish, I will not be making the wreckmania trip and she now needs a room mate. I hope that there is another female that is interested in this spot. I am very sorry to cancel, but after giving this a lot of thought I do not feel I am or will be ready for these dives. In comparison with many going I am very, very beginner and not quite as technical oriented as some either. I am working on the experience and plan to do alot of diving with my dive shop on several trips that they make. I am going this coming Thurs, with them to do a liveaboard in the Bahamas. I will be going to WPB in May and to Cozumel with them in place of Wreckmania. I also, will go back to WPB with them for Labor Day weekend. Hopefully another liveaboard in the fall. Since Dema is in October they may not schedule one. Again, I am sorry to change my mind on this as most everyone sounds like alot of fun. It is just the diving part seems to be more than I am ready for. I will keep everyone posted on my trips and hopefully gained experiences. ;-(

Just (oh about 5 hours ago) got back from Florida - spent a day with NetDoc, and a few with Walter. Yeehaw -- I'll tell you these guys are a hoot in person!

Walter and I travelled down to the site of Wreckmania, and you guys are in for a treat. The hotel is a small family run style place, right along side the beach. Convenient walking distance to lots of places to eat, and just a mile down the road from the charter that will be used. Walter and I visited a couple of reefs one day, and then some of the wrecks you'll be visiting the next. You will enjoy yourselves -- not only with the charter, but with the wrecks.

I'll be posting a "My Florida Adventure" as soon as I wake up a bit more.
