Getting "Wrecked" in Uttila

Well, we have completed the wreck specialty course which had us penetrating the Halliburton wreck, tiying of the line and then turning around and coming back through. Not an easy task with an overhead environment and lines and reels at 100 feet below. It was very exciting. We finished the day at a bbq and hanging in hammocks. For anyone that has done deep dives you would know that it takes the wind out of your sails. Cheers to those that can do the dives and still make it to the out of countrol Full Moon party at Bundu beach.

We made it to the hammock and than to another hammock haha..it was not a dancing shoes night, that is for sure. I had to laugh, it was raining today so Rufas and I spent it playing yahtzee mania and crib in this funky little cafe (code word for a touch skeazy) on the water...everyone around us was complaining about the loud music that kept them up all night, and I don't remember waking up even once last night...gotta love diving.

Our dreams of sailing our way back across the sea to Belize have been blown away by an eastern wind that is going the opposite direction. We are still looking at some boat options but now it is back to the land travel for the two of us.

We may try and squeeze in one more night dive before heading to land and up the coast. It may mean a trip through Guatemala unless we can grab some chicken plane along the way.

The rain has ended, I won at scrabble through much contention over a few words..lost at yahtzee and had a good go at crib and now its time to stop playing games and figure out how to get out of here :) Not that I am in that big of a hurry to leave. We should be able to make our way by the 9th back up to Cozumel and catch one or two more dives before leaving central america for home sweet home..may need a little luck, a little less rain and wind and hopefully some good karma!,
