ScreenCaps From the Dive

Dropping along the edge of the island

and into the dark

This is below 400ft

Here my computer is registering 417ft 

On the way back up at about 260ft

The wall in the background about 100yards away-

the visibility gets pretty phenomenal down there!

After Dive Performance

Four Hundred and TwentyThree Feet

Today I completed what will probably be the deepest dive of my life.

82 minutes from surface to surface for about a minute and a half at depth

Sure was fun though!

Christmas Aftermath

Best Christmas Present Ever!

What do you get the guy who already has everything he wants?

A flight around the island!

The pilot took off and landed, but in between he handed over the controls to me,

so of course we flew all around Salt River

and our apartment,

Christiansted's harbor and the house we might be buying.

And Lisa managed to keep the screaming to a minimum

One thing that I was really excited to see was what the world looked like from 350ft up- the deepest I've been underwater.

We leveled off at 350 near Isaac's Bay and, around here, it looks like this-

I don't think I really understood how deep I have been until then.

Estate Boetzburg

Looks like we might be buying a house!

Winter Sunset

(a lot like the summer sunsets)

Rainbow Over The Valley

Boat Parade '13

 We arrived early for what we consider to be the beginning of the Christmas season on St Croix,

but not early enough to beat the long lines for bucket rides.

 This year there were 20+ boats from giant

 to tiny,

 conceptual (dolphins pulling Santa's sleigh),

and even laser light shows.

After a couple of laps around the harbor everyone watched to the east for

fireworks!

After which the revelry continued into the night.
