Laid back day

Not too much to report on today, everyone was sort of mellowing out after the Catamaran day yesterday.  There is a lionfish hunting competition going on this weekend, and our dive shop is pretty excited.  There are numerous prizes, and as of this evening, Atlantic Sea divers has captured the largest one.  One of the dive shops speared 177 of them, so we're not in the running for most captured.  Somehow our boat captain has been given the task of cleaning all the fish that come in.  He's sitting out at the back of the dive shop tonight with a couple of coolers full of fish to clean.  Poor guy is going to be there for hours.  There is a big cookoff tomorrow night at the Blue Marlin restaurant, where all these fish are going to be served up.  Should be fun....how am I going to get to Sundowners to watch the Heritage Classic.......
The owner of the dive shop has his wife flying home from the mainland tomorrow.  She went over to her parents for the birth of their baby over three months ago.  He hasn't seen his wife, his three year old, or Eduardo Jr. in these three months.  Not sure we'll see much of Eduardo tomorrow.....
Have the 9:00 dive booked.  I'm buddying up with Lilian, whose husband Wilf is engrossed with lionfish hunting.  She's a good partner for me as our air consumption is usually almost identical.  They're from somewhere around Brandon.
Off to bed.  Forecast for the next six days is pure sun with temps around 30.....ahhhhhh better sunscreen my nose.....
