It is another world down here. The American Caribbean. You are to close not to come. The view of the water from the highway is worth the drive.

Frig the view!!! You gotta get IN the water. I used to go to the Keys quite a bit...Dry Rocks, The Elbow, Christ Statue, Pennekamp, Long Beach Key and camping on the beach, Stalag 88 (?) at mile marker 88 (rented a sailboat there)....lots of good memories.

The water is great to look at, but AWESOME to get in.
 
need anyone to run your plow while you are gone? I will split the profits, 90/10 in favour of the labour. :P

Hey Chip, how did you do in the Geezers Competition? Sorry I didn't stick around the whole day, but I was cheering you on in spirit. ;)
 
Yeah it's too bad we didn't get to spend more time... I was pretty distracted.

Did OK for a guy pushing 50 who's never actually competed anywhere but Geezers. I did better than I hoped in the footlock, I was only 6 secs off the best time... I was hoping to be no more than 11 off. That was all I really wanted out of the comp... everything else was partying... an endeavor in which I truly excel.

Finished AR for the first time ever, but it was a pathetically easy scenario. Zeroed Belayed speed... some of those younger old farts are fast as hell. Had it going in throwline with a 10 in the first tree but then I tangled the line with a climbing rope and timed out on the second one. Buzzed the limb on the work climb but i hit all the stations. I was actually doing really well moving around but I snagged the knot in the end of my lanyard like, 3 times, got one foot on the landing target.
I should have trained at least a little bit. It was a lot more competitive than last year, at least in terms of depth. Every climber there was good and most are still climbing regularly. next year...

Next time we'll set aside a few hours to chew the fat and talk saws... I need to learn more about saws.
 
Well this is it for me! Tomorrow at 6:00am we head off to the airport. Direct from Kelowna to Playa del Carmen. One week of fun in the sun.
