The velocity is down getting a new blower setup, but we did manage to take the offshore boat out tubing for the day.

No it won't be me to crucify you for your comment Mickey, but I will respond. First you were low with your head count .... there were actually 16 on board. Crammed ? ... ya, a bit but no one complained. Nothing but smiles and laughter from start to finish. We included several from the Islands who never get the chance to get a ride like that. Life jackets should be worn and were offered to all, but all declined. It is very different down there. They just will not wear them and that's the way it is. Hopefully in time they will come around on that. And yes, I am an experienced Captain with well over a hundred poker runs under my belt and over 5,000 hrs at the helm of various offshore boats in the last 30 years. I've never had an accident or collision of any kind. I do not drink and am a safe operator. Guess that's enough.

Maybe this pic will take the "heat" off of me. LOL
