The Octopus Family

I just wanted to write a quick blog about Chris's parents, who were down in January. This was one of the reasons that I wasn't blogging enough. I know that you want to hear about the diving, but... just indulge me a little bit.

While they were here we took them out on the boat twice. They aren't divers (had a bad experience with a discover scuba dive in Kenya I think and we haven't been able to convince them to try it again!), so we took them out for a couple of boat charters. This included going snorkeling at Creole Rock, takinga mud bath at Tintamarre Island, and also cruising aroung the Simpson Bay Lagoon looking at the super yachts. Here are some photos below.



The first photo is of Trevor and Wendy and Chris at Creole Rock before they went snorkeling.

The next photo is Trevor and Wendy on the boat in the Simpson Bay Lagoon.






Some super mega yachts....



Some more super mega yachts.



Sometimes the mega yachts are dragging a small tender around behind their boat, I don't know if you can see it in this photo below. Anway... the tender is about the same size as our diving boat, so it is just crazy how big they are.

Especially in the economic situation at the moment, and all the jobs that are being lost and all the lost money in the stock market, and foreclosures on homes, seeing this amount of money up close everyday is a little unimaginable. I just don't know where all that money comes from? I just didn't know that there could be that many rich people out there. They are beautiful though.

Anyway.... we had a great time with Trevor and Wendy, and we hope that they come back to visit us again soon.
