Not too sure what happened, however I think the battery is dead in my WalMart purchased "GFS decoder ring". I've been relying on Terry to help me out.

You need to adjust for magnetic deviation and moon/ tide swings.

Concentrate on deviation.

Propeller or mini solar panel? Both have advantages.

Last riverfront room booked! Packing my decoder ring for GFS, hopefully 4 family members, 1 23 Sceptre, ect.. Let's do this!

Good deal! must of been a cancelation as I was told I got the last riverfront when I booked. No real bad rooms here, just some with a few more ammenities. It's going to be a great time. The pavillion is awesome and its a great time of year for mahi and grouper.

It's only one story. Double check your compass.

So was Columbus, that's why he discovered the short route to India and named everybody here "indians". Oh, wait!

Just remember, When the maximum band width of compass deviation, whether measured in Nano-farads or Light years, is exceeded and you peel back all the leaves of the artichoke - sometimes there is just a "Deviat".
Just say'in!

I got a hunch Sportsman's Lodge is going to be great. We just need to request that they build an elevator for Sandy. I Vacuum bagged some Hoggies I got on Saturday due west of Danny and Connor's docks for Ceviche' appetizers at Long Point. No sense in waiting 'till the last minute!

I wish that "old Guy" would stay out of my pictures!!!

Yes, Some are on Marsha's "Ticket"

I had 12 artichokes and pound of butter. I was in the express lane indeed. Couldn`t cook em fast enough.

Great job Terry! Glad to see Marsha is letting you take pictures with her stringer....

"old guy"

know what you mean.

A few years back I was watching a video taken by a friend in Little Cayman. This old, mostly bald headed old coot swims into the picture. I was astonished, had not seen any other free divers out there and could not figure how I could have missed this guy. But Wait! The old coot has on a wetsuit just like mine and fins, just like mine, and a mask, just like mine. About that time, I figured out who the "old guy" was.
