Hi Gang,

We’ve been having some good weather and some bad weather over the winter, and as I’m sure many of you up north can attest, it’s been mostly a cold one. Several days we had lots of people in town who wanted to dive but when it is 48 degrees at 8am, you get some people who are thinking about drinking hot chocolate, not diving! It always warmed up, so that resulted in lots of afternoon trips once the sun showed up and saved the day, so other than a few windy days, we’ve been having fun.

Speaking of fun.. If you ever wondered how the boats get maintained, modified and set up to use all season long, the answer is simple, we do all of the “fun” stuff in January and February when we are in the slow season. There is always a long list of stuff to fix, change, scrape, sand, and paint and this year was no exception. I’ve included a few pictures of the “fun” for the Tropical Adventure which we worked on a few weeks back..

We are working on Tropical Voyager right now and she will be back in the water next week.
