That's just cool Lynn, congrats on your healing...all of our prayers were answered. Yes, I'm loving the DR and my Spanish is getting better everyday. My school came from dating a Dominican girl, and wanting to communicate with her on a level deeper than "una mas cerveza?". LOL GFH - Believe me I know how lucky I am, tried for 2 years to get my permits in Florida to no avail. Being here with a valid contract on such a historic coast is certainly a blessing. Took a while to get used to the power going off and the way they drive down here, but i'm very well adjusted now.
We're moving the dredge boat from Luperon to the good site today, still missing a fitting or two for the filter system on the compressor for that boat so hopfully we'll get that Monday and be digging Tuesday. I'll definitely keep the pics coming, here's a few more unrelated pics that you guys might enjoy.
Anchor with a broken shaft from the other site.
One of our more interesting dive entry points
This is the view from my home, i prefer it without the waterspout most days.
Meeting with some local fishermen, how about that conference room.
Returning from a little cave exploration, found lots of Taino indian artifacts in the water inside...not to mention a few thousand bats. Really cool day!
A few of the bats near the entrance
The keelson and a little ballast from a wreck in the bay. This one was scuttled and burned, nothing on her but a few pottery shards. Once we excavated a bit, there was an incredible amount of hull structure down there, the most intact lower hull I've ever seen.
More of the same wreck...I'll try to get some video up of the excavation and structure.
Thanks for the diversion while I await my dives on Tuesday. :-)
