 Carpile Excavator Good evening all, I’ve been going non-stop all day and finally I can just sit here and relax! Aimee and I left the house at 6:30, I dropped her off at the whale while Inca and I went on our own little adventures. We had an hour to kill before Aimee was done so we first drove to the old castle at Caracas baai and checked on the Geocache that is hidden there. I had gotten some e-mails saying folks couldn’t find it or that it had maybe been stolen again but it was right where it was supposed to be. Next we drove and picked up some driftwood that had been dumped in the desert and then went on a 20 minute hike cutting thorn bushes along the way, it’s amazing how much you can do in an hour! Once we got back home, I then took both dogs for a short walk over by the Aquarium and then back home because of the heat. I then took off to the store and dropped of our laundry and went to a book store to try and find the new issue of Scuba Diver but it’s not here yet. Upon returning home again, I started working on my driftwood toy box that I have been building for weeks now, this project is consuming a whole lot of my wood supply! At noon I met Mark at the World famous Dive Bus Hut for a deep dive to the Car Pile! The dive was really fun!! This was the first major thing we came across at around 110 feet, this is a giant antique Excavator Bucket! I found it ironic that this bucket once used for scooping up large amounts of soil or rock is now filled with beautiful sponges and encrusting corals, it’s kind of fitting isn’t it?? This is really one of the coolest dive spots in Curacao and you can bet I will be spending more time here searching for goodies! I think our maximum depth today was around 118 feet, we swam from rusted object to rusted object and never ran out of things to find. When we surfaced Mark said, “they should call it the Junk Pile” and he’s right it’s just littered with old rusted things of every size and shape, complete cars are hard to find! The rest of my afternoon just flew by and at 4:30 I left the house for a two hour bike ride. I rode by myself for the first hour and was met by friends for the second half, that deep dive kind of killed my riding tonight!
That’s about it, I am going to bed, talk to you all tomorrow, Barry
