Day two...private charter

Sunday morning, time to sleep in. I slept in until 06:00 when my alarm went off. Quite a feat for me. We weren't expecting to hear from the 'charter boys' until 09:00 so it was supposed to be an easy start. Denny predicted that only a few of them would show up and that there was a 50/50 chance that they were going to want to dive at all. I helped Holley clean up a bit when they called to say that some of them would be over for breakfast. We started getting breakfast ready a few minutes later and then there they were, pulling up in a taxi. They must have called while on their way over from the MTV house. Holley had all the food and stuff out to make breakfast, which wasn't started, so she freaked and started throwing food around to get breakfast ready and to put stuff away. Only four of the group showed up. It was decided to see how they felt after eating before deciding on whether or not to dive. It was already sounding like it was a no-go on diving. Denny listened for dive reports from the local dive boats on conditions at the V. It sounded like more of the same from the previous day. This help the group decide to pack it up and go home. They needed to have the plane back by 18:00 anyway. We helped them pack their stuff and offered to return their rental gear and tanks for them. They called a taxi and away they went, hopefully returning again. Gone...peace...rest. It always seems the same when a group leaves. Now it was time to clean up a bit then off to KW; we had to load and return the rental gear, have lunch and ice cream then return for a nap. Returning the gear was a snap then it was off to BO's for lunch. We found a metered parking spot right next to BO's, fed the meter and had lunch. After lunch we headed over to the KW Ice Cream Factory, feeding the meter again. Ice Cream is good! We returned gto the car to find just about every car around ours with a ticket, but not the FJ. Good job feeding the meter. Keep riding that karma train Denny & Holley. We returned to the boat for a much needed nap. After the nap I loaded the Jeep and returned to FSB,l driving in Sunday afternoon Florida Keys traffic. Beatutiful day for a boat ride!
