BANKING HOURS: TUESDAY, 10-2
Every Tuesday, whether you need it or not! 
But figure on taking a couple weeks to do it right, and being self sufficient and able to anchor out and sleep aboard gives you much more flexibility! Also no need to carry tanks, as the nicest reefs are in 35' or less, plus spearguns are illegal anyway, although pole spears and slings are ok. |
If it was up to me it would be a longer trip working as far as we could but remember, Mel is a newbie and requires a slow, controlled immersion into a transition from cruise ships to island skiffs. I have a 2020 business plan that will ready both of us for more adventurous endeavors and bank the financing required to make sure I'm not selling ceviche on a street corner in Dunmore town to buy enough fry grease diesel to putt back home.
