This is what happens when I take a morning off!

it isn't often that I am not at the shop or in the water. Looking back on my hours working here, it is usually around 75 plus a week, sometimes up to 80 hours! (Not that I'm complaining). So... when I get the opportunity to have a sleep in, I take it!

And I will say now that I really needed it. Mostly because the night before I didn't sleep well at all as a bat landed on my head at 02:45 AM! Yup... a bat! We have a bat problem at our apartment. So far they haven't been too much of a nuisance, just a couple flying around the room. The exterminators on the island say that there isn't much they can do as this hasn't happened before (I find this hard to believe!). I was deep in sleep (as I am most nights after diving) and all of a sudden WHAP! I completely freaked out. Chris said "what's wrong? What's wrong?" and I just looked by my pillow and there was the bat! Chris also jumped up at this point. The bat must've been flying around the room when it hit the fan and then was propelled onto my face! The joys of island life!

So... back to the point. I had a really nice morning, slept late, did the laundry, did some dishes, watched a little bad TV and then came back to the center. When the morning group of divers came back they were really excited. They did the Fusheng and The Gregory. On the Fusheng they saw two Caribbean Grey Reef Sharks and.... a Hammerhead! Can you believe that I missed the Hammerhead? I can't. Still bitter about it. As you can tell. I would describe it more, but I wasn't there, was I?

That's what you get for sleeping late! Hmpf!
