Just Another Sea Day :-)
... to see an old gent a couple of rows behind me wiping vomit off his beard. Eurgh, disgusting. What made it worse was that he didn't make any attempt to get up and leave; consequently the show was disrupted by people around this guy getting up and moving as far away as possible. I had to watch the rest of the show with my hand over my nose to try to reduce the stink. Yuk. A good show but that spoilt it a bit and I ...
Day 4 - Grand Turk
... with getting a table for two (there were plenty). I seriously have no idea why the Maitre'D and hostesses can not get it right. Once seated, our same waitstaff recognizes us & are happy to chat with us more than normal. Mike had lamb (so-so, no flavor) & the porkchop entree. I had potato soup & the black bean enchilada.

Last Day in the Water
... of 2 or 3 that are only barely sticking out. guess they were all watching Smitty.
We have decided to do the night dive so Smitty takes us to the Library dive site for our second dive. This will be where we do the night dive so he wanted us to see it during the day. There is a crevice to swim through the coral wall and then we move along the wall until we reach the cable that comes off the phone tower ...
