Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

It doesn't feel much like Thanksgiving in St. Martin. First of all, it is 34 degrees Celsius (93 degrees Fahrenheit). Secondly, I am surrounded by French people (who don't really celebrate Thanksgiving) and lastly, I got attacked by another bat last night!

However, we do have lots to Thankful for, here at Octopus Diving. So I thought that my Thanksgiving Day blog should be about that.

We are thankful for....

All the great people that come to dive and snorkel with us.

A fantastic night dive last night with Patrick, Stan and Fabrice.

Our great staff, Max and Craig.

Our dive boat, Arvor. We take care of her and she takes care of us.

We are definitely thankful that the St. Martin government has repaved the road in front of the shop. This has been so great because now there is so much less dirt and dust in the air.

That they not only paved the road but also put in a speed bump which is slowing everyone down (the new road made them all drive faster, you see).

The sun is out, the weather is good, and the diving is great.

Our contractor Raymond says that once we get the "ok" from Le Marie (the local council) he can have our new dock built in two weeks..... Yeah!

The great people in Grand Case, like Reverend Hodge (owner of Les Alizes), Emile and Jacqueline (owners of Sky's the Limit in Lolo's), Ronald, Dominique and Marc (owners of the kitchen shop), and there are so many others in beautiful Grand Case.

On a personal note, I am thankful that you are reading this blog. And I am also thankful that I get to live my dream life with my dream husband in the Caribbean. I highly recommend it!

Happy Turkey day everyone, remember to say thanks!
