Palau and Yap

Gosh what a GREAT vacation! I can't imagine a better way to spend the new year but in a great tropical location!

Palau, gorgeous islands. This week can be summed up as Eat, Sleep, Dive. The folks on the Eco Explorer made sure that we could get in as many dives as possible and till have time to eat the Great food that was prepared for us. With a ratio of 21 guests and 17 crew you know they treated us well. Anthony the bartender made sure our glasses were never empty and greeted us we a smile after every dive. Our videographer Richard, did a fantastic job with the film. Our dive guides were wonderful, the 2 I dove with the most Malin and Steve, wonderful guides and kept us laughing on our short rides to the dive sites.
What a memorable week!

I have began uploading my pictures to my Flickr account, it will take some time (I have over 300 photos to share). But you can start to look at them now.

Back from my Vacation

Hello, everyone! I am back from my trip to Manitou! I had a BLAST! We stayed in a resort called Jolli-Lodge, it was right on the shore of Lake Michigan and our cabin was right off of the beach with a great view of the Manitou islands!
The first day the good old Lake Michigan was just too rough for our boat to head over to the Islands for our diving, so we did a shore dive in the Grand Traverse Bay Underwater Preserve (proposed) on the Elmwood. The Elmwood was a great shipwreck. I took my camera and I do have pictures (I will upload later) I also took some video with my camera and I posted it on YouTube. After that dive we dove in front of our resort, pretty flat and a long way to the drop off, and with the lake being so rough it was a difficult entry!

On Sunday, we had much better luck with the weather, and we boarded our boat for South Manitou Island. The first wreck we dove was, the Franciso Morazan (and of course the Walter L. Frost). Unfortunately we did not swim over to the Frost as my dive buddy was having a lot of trouble with his mask, so we headed back to the boat to fix it.
Our second dive on Sunday was the Three Brothers. That was a great dive! I did not take my camera on the dives on Sunday...and I wish had, but the space as very limited on the boat and I was afraid the camera could get damaged.

Here is the video from the Elmwood:
