The Kick-Off!

Charlotte and Alexa getting ready!

Oh my gosh, that was so much fun!  ...sooooo much fun, in fact, that I am positively giddy with excitement even as I write (or giddy with mild sun-stroke?)! 

Our best guess is that about 50 people came out to SCUBA KICK-OFF at Bonnie Boats in Jackson's Point.   FIFTY!  I will have to make a big cake for next year; triple chocolate in Bart's honour.  He put his request in first.

Must say:  You folks are so much fun; THANK-YOU!   Divers ROCK!

A big thank-you to Chanel (you say it like the perfume, but do you spell it like the perfume?) for watching (and TRAINING) my very energetic she-devil puppy! 

Gracie!  What ARE you doing?  Aaaargh!

---

Divers helping divers

Everyone started to gear up for their first dive of the day.

Whew!  Such hard work!  We are thankful that diving is such a restful sport.

---

Almost ready!

---

It is so refreshing!

---

Bruce from Aqualung was giving Yanet and Brian a drysuit demonstration.  A gang went out for their second dive, and they LOVED the drysuits!

---

Jody helped Aleks get into his drysuit.  The pair drew a crowd with their antics.  LOL!

---

Look Ma!  I did it!  (and I'm so happy I am NOT at work!)

---

Alexa took the paddleboard out for its first run (she makes it look easy).

Who wants to learn how?

---

And Charlotte helped some of the onlookers to give it try.

---

Gracie the "She-Devil Wonder Puppy" gives paddleboarding a try!

They made it look so easy.  It is NOT that easy.  I lack grace, lol!

---

No laughing.

We can do this!

Gracie is hiding her face. :O

Bad it's not so bad if she stays close.

Trying to stand

Sit Gracie!

Steady; how did Alexa do it so gracefully?

Says it all.  We so tired. But happy.
