Almost SCUBA certified!!

This has been a busy week in Marathon for Peter. He has been to scuba classes every day but Tuesday. Thursday and Friday were double dives but he chose to do a single dive on Thursday so he finishes his last dive this morning. Yesterday when he jumped in from the dive boat he said he was surrounded by fish! He loved the free dive part. Jane is just a little bit jealous but hopefully we will both get out to the reef to snorkel. Peter did see man o war jelly fish though so we are not in a rush. Of course the full wetsuit protects everything but our hands and head. We will see!!

Jane has been doing the usual boat stuff...laundry, grocery shopping on a bike....minding Pretzel. She has also spent time with Nancy, our new friend from Maine. Her husband, Bill, took diving lessons with Peter.

On Tuesday we went to breakfast at the "Stuffed Pig" restaurant across the main road. It's somewhat like the Bahamas....if you only look at the front of the building you would not choose to go in. BUT they have indoor seating and a beautiful outdoor seating area under 4-5 tiki roofs. And we can bring Pretzel along with us!! The food is great and the atmosphere is even better. Breakfast is better than lunch. They even have lobster benedict for $14. (Think about that one Eric!) Verena will love these pictures!

There are pigs everywhere in the place!

Jane's new friend!

Two days ago we watched the space station fly overhead for about 3 minutes. It was very clear. Made us think back to the sputnick days watching for the satellites fly over!! This morning Jane tried to take pictures of the moon and "Fat Albert", the US blimp monitoring boat traffic from Cuba. It reflects very clearly in the morning sun. If you double click on the photos you can clearly see the little blimp near the moon!!

The blimp is at 2:00 just off the moon!
