During the course of 'Team Moonshiner' becoming
fully qualified divers, I took the opportunity of watching the underwater antics
with the aid of snorkel & mask. Unfortunately this meant that i was unable
to ignore the two weed-encrusted hulls and the barnacle gardens where my props
used to be! Whoever said Blakes made good anti-fouling was slightly mistaken.
Monday morning Trouters is being lifted out at Pasito Blanco for a good
scrubbing and re-antifouling, should be out for three days. So, what with my
having acquired a BCB, weight belt, octopus, diving knife and a full set of
instruments, this will be another 'budget-buster' of a month. Oh well, you can't
take it with you (mind you, it would have been nice to have taken SOME of it as
far as the Caribbean!!!)
