We finally left the RRDC situation. It appears that the managing owner expects people to work for free for him, or as he so eloquently stated, "if you expect to get paid for what you do you have no business working for this company". WOW, does he live in a fantasy world, but that's not news. Needless to say I just walked away. I have since found work with Jules Undersea Lodge and with Conch Republic Divers. So far both have both proved very rewarding, professional and ethical. It was nice to have confirmation that some dive shops still place an emphasis on professionalism.

But enough about work. Since my last posting we have had some fun social events. Anya and Rob were married (happy occasion) and Shannon has left the Keys to run her boat rental business in Indiana (sad occasion - we miss you). Below are some pictures from both events. At Shannon's farewell night at Sharkey's, Brownie and Matt became best drunk buddies. It was very funny.

Dive the Vandenberg!

Brownie and I had a day off together and decided to head down to Key West. We left Key Largo around 6:00 am for the long ride south. We watched the sunrise to our east, ocean side, as we counted down the mile markers. Along the way we were always a few miles behind the rain which produced some great rainbows through the drive. We even saw a highly endangered Key Deer cross the road. I've drive to Key West many time over the years but had never been lucky enough to spot one. As expected we arrived at Captain's Choice in Key West about an hour early. It was nice not to be rushed. Checked in, chilled, until the boat was ready for passengers. It felt very odd not to be lugging tanks on the boat. You almost want to jump in and help, but I must admit it feels pretty good not doing all that work. After all, we were there to enjoy a great morning of diving. Soon enough we headed out and about 35 minutes later arrived at the mooring site for the Vandenberg . It looked like a...

Pihea Vista Trail

We finally had a day off together and my first day off in almost two weeks (13 straight days of work). It was great to go out there and enjoy the beautiful scenery Kauai has to offer. The other bonus was being able to take Niles out on a long walk with me. He wasn't to thrilled by the time we got to the Pihea Vista. It was a straight upward climb in the mud and he was already tired from the relatively easy part of the trail. I forget that the pup is getting old. He's a getting gray. I guess that what happens to a ten year old black dog. He really hated the part were I jogged back to the start ing point. I need to take easy on the old dog. I don't feel much like writing so I am just going to post some pictures of the beautiful vistas from the trail.
