I received a message from my daughter Stephanie, a teacher at The Island Academy. She, along with her friend Chris, has made several dives in the past week and reports that it is some of the best diving she has ever enjoyed. The reef is pristine, gorgeous and she saw a ton of fish, sea turtles and a huge grouper. She described it as spectacular diving.

Thank God the Reef was spared. Tourism will be great, and San Pedranos livelyhoods are assured.

Well, when you speak to Stephanie and Chris again, please be sure and tell them Emile sends his best...I should be down there for Thanksgiving, God willing and(forgive the pun) the creek don't rise!!
Has he still got a plane to fly?
E.

Marty, what is that black box you put on my message, I am sure it is beautiful, but I can not see it, help.

Hi Emile. No, Keith trashed his Tropicair planes. I will give them your best, and also relay the news of your upcoming visit.

Thanks, Ms.Madill...I should have my pilot's certficate by then, so Chris and I can swap "flyer lies" over a Belikin or two...if they're still in business(Belikin, that is)!!
Chloe, that GIF is a pic of a Puffer fish, you can't see it???

Is that some kinda Caribbean eye chart?
If so I have failed the eye exam. LOL

On my screen there is the most beautiful yellow fish winking at me. and no I have not been drinking!!!!

THIS IS VERY GOOD NEWS! I HAD POSTED ON THE AMBERGRIS BOARD AND INQUIRED ABOUT THIS. HAVING FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE IS SO WONDERFUL!!
THANK YOU!!
In my previous post I was so worried about debris and garbage being caught up in the reef after the storm. This good report puts all my fears to rest. Thank you so much.
