Well we finally got off dry land. I was lucky to find a yacht to charter. The captain has agreed to take us though the mediterranian sea. The boat is only a 53 footer, But it is nicely furnished, And the crew speaks english (thank god!). Mary and I bought new scuba gear before we left Italy since we didn't bring ours with us. Since we are both PADI certified master divers, It felt good to get the gear on again!
While we were at the port of Moracco, we watched these curious dolphins swimming around the boat. They were probably looking for a handout. Since we were in no hurry to get to the casino, we deceided to go for a little dive with our visitors. While Mary and I were goofing around with the dolphins, we were taken by suprise by the above sight! We didn't recognize it at first, It's a harmless whaleshark. I'd estimate it to be about 17 feet long, just a baby. Adult whalesharks grow to about twice that size. While ashore in Moracco, I lost... I mean gambled away a few thousand. I was actually up by about $26,000 but it goes away quick when you sit at the $1,000 blackjack table. To the left is the casino Mary and I spent part of the day in. |
