May 30: Meeting the boat-Packed all of my gear in the
morning. I ran to the dive shop to get a new mouthpiece for the regulator I was
using. Ultimate Getaway.
We met up in the afternoon & drove down to Ft. Myers to meet the boat, the
We got to the dock & put away all of the gear in the
boat. I set up all of my dive gear at a station & then got my personal gear
into a bunk (rack). We went to eat dinner then came back to the boat. The crew
gave us the run down on safety & the food situation. This boat is stocked
with all kinds of snacks. There’s a big 5-gallon container of water &
lemonade. Then there’s a soda fountain. Trouble...
We left the dock at around 8:30 pm. The weather was a little
rough. The wind was still blowing about 20 mph from the east. Once we got
offshore, we were taking 4-5 foot waves on the port side.
At about 10 pm, I was
done & went to bed. I have a particular way that I sleep in a bunk. I can
only sleep in a bunk laying on my stomach with all of my limbs spread out. Lots
of people say that they can’t sleep on a boat, but I learned that I can get
really stable & fall asleep right away if I just splay out. I sleep all
night through when I’m lying like that.These are a couple of pictures of my bunk.
