Started of with a double scuba dive, lunch at marys boon, lounging by the pool reading a book, dinner at isola and winning 250.00 playing slots at Hollywood. What a way to spend my 72nd birthday.

300 Dives!!! Did one once in Anguilla in the 80’s and something happened to my ears, couldn’t hear properly so went to a local clinic to get my ears syringed whilst seeing blood, yes blood on the walls in this place. Thought I was in the 17th century what they tried to do to me and promptly ran out of there. When back when home to local doc who syringed a huge lump of wax or something that had got lodged and for the next few days thought everyone was shouting at me.

You won $250 on the slots? That's impressive for that casino. Never won a dime at that place. Must have been birthday good fortune working for you. I'll give it another try at my next visit now that I have heard of someone actually winning on the slots there!

We were going to Carib Cargo which is on of my favorites for Micro photography but another boat was there so we went to Fish Bowl. We then went to Jab Jab for a combo dive including the Bridge site.

Happy Birthday and Congrats on #300 dive. That's quite the accomplishment. I thought I was doing pretty good with 136, lol. All but 4 of them in SXM.

Did Carib Cargo and Mikes Maize today. Found my favorite Blennys on Carib and they were very photogenic today.
