Well, a momentous day for me. I have taken the plunge for the first time in
the open water. Got my first dive under my belt - what do you mean it's
only taken a year!! Dave off Knott's Gipsy kindly rallied around and gave
me the benefit of his expertise and kit and we went around to a small island
that used to have an old whaling station. Managed to stay under for about
35 minutes and got to see a range of swimmy things, plus Dave rescued a
couple of momentos (shells) from the bottom for me.

Would that I could show you a photo, however, the skipper was left in charge
of the camera!

We're off to St Lucia tomorrow - complete with our electronic gremlins -
hope we can sort them there.
