how was the diving ?

 

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By Cecil* (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #8773) on Monday, March 28, 2011 - 7:56 am:     Edit PostPrint Post

It was very good Denise. Lots of healthy coral, nice structure and friendly critters. It is expensive $100 for a two tanker, which pretty much was everything in the BVIs. Sue would ask what something cost and the standard answer was a 100 bucks eg. Ferry ride = $100, dinner = $100, sailing = $100, massage = $100 etc.

On another note, ahhh Timmmmy she was only 12, sorry.

I believe this is the cruise sailing ship you saw.
They are beautiful to watch during sunset, saw one in Costa Rica passing by.
I love your picture report, BVI is on our list to visit!!!!! Guess, we have to save up more $ first.

Great pics, as always! I love Tortola!

If they are still in business, www.purplepineapple.com had some great villa rentals.

Did you make it to Smuggler's Cove?

Chris that does look right.

Kelly yes, the boobie picture and the young girl are from Smuggler's Cove. We only made it there on our last full day, very nice place and Steve makes the best Rum Punches.

Hormones in the meat Timmmmy. I really wanted her to just be a silhouette due to this age thing but my photoshop skills were not up to the task.

OK Timmmmy how did you do that, mask her and make a new layer to darken? If yes, how did you mask her?

YW - I mostly use the lasso tool because the wand sometime selects to much - it just happened to work out best this time.
