[status] sorry for lack of updates last few days - life can get busy cruising !
After diving the outside of the reef by the main pass and having 50 m vis plus plenty of sharks we decided to go back around to the eastern side of the island and dive the manta cleaning station plus get out of the wind from the westerly which got up to 30 knots and is probably the worst wind on Viatape side of the island. Anchoring off the St Regis resort the wind was much better and we did 2 dives on the cleaning station in limited visibility not seeing any Mantas :(
Caught up with a kiwi Cat - Off2C which is going to spend a year here - sundowners on P?zazz .
Back to our anchorage off the Hilton on the west side again now for internet as we got the news that Zuny?s son and partner just had a baby boy - 10 days early .
This week is about getting ready for the arrival of the new crew over the next few days and Zuny?s departure in the weekend , then our departure straight after

We have had a problem with some of the supplies we bought being infested with eggs that turn into caterpillars then moths -over 3 days we stripped all our provisions,cleaned,threw some out and reoacked but is a never ending war :(
What a hassle .
Was supposed to be due after Zuny arrived back however he decided to enter this world early - all are well !
