 ABOUTfeatured: 30 Best Snorkeling Blogs Fun Ways to enjoy the caribbeanOct 9, 09 Comments Off
 Stove pipe Good morning friends, I guess it’s starting to look like the blog is moving back to mornings again, I just don’t seem to have time in the evenings?? Last night we had a four hour quarterly meeting at the Dolphin Academy. The first two hours pretty much consisted of listening to talk about how our numbers can be improved and better ways to help the in-coming tourists. We have noticed Americans are spending less or just are not traveling like they did last year. We had the Adventure here on Wednesday and they hardly bought anything after the swim but the European visitors still seem unaffected for the most part with the economy. The second half of our meeting last night was designed around Team Building. We first got put into groups then handed a list of songs that we had to Karaoke to as a group! So after being served a nice dinner each group got up on stage one by one and did their stuff, I laughed so hard I cried at one point!! Our group sang some crazy song from M&M, kind of like Rap, we had our hats turned sideways and our glasses on trying to the do the best gangster impressions we could think of, I pray that video stays hidden forever!!
Yesterday it rained almost all day here! We ended up staying in and cleaning for the most part, didn’t realize what a mess we had going on here!! I guess when you have piles of driftwood laying around, wood working tools, mountain bikes with dirty tires and two shedding dogs the house can get destroyed fast! Our car doesn’t seem to working well, it’s very noisy in first and second gear, I guess it’s typical of the quality of repair one can expect on a small Caribbean island??
A year or so ago someone asked me “do sponges regenerate if they are broken”? At the time I had no idea, we never really see to many broken sponges out there. Well I found this perfect example the other day at 60 feet out in front of the Sea Aquarium. This is the top of a purple stove pipe sponge that for some reason broke off but is now re-growing a new tube again, cool huh?? I will go back every once in a while and continue to monitor this progress just to see how fast they grow.
Ok, I need to get moving, I have to work today, we pick Eva up tonight and starting Saturday I have a week off. I have a list of photos I will be having her help me with so hopefully we will have some fun stuff to send to you next week. Have a great day all, Barry
