Windy city!!

Friday, January 5th, 2007

OK so whilst the winter sun is definitely still here… a bit of the winter wind has blown in and consequently blown out the diving!!! So those of you who left last night… you needn’t be quite so downhearted!

Looking out this morning (having been woken up at 5am by our washing line blowing over) Ras Katy normally an oasis of calm in most conditions was lumpy with lots of white frothy stuff (ooh yes, that will be waves!). By the time we got to work, I was dreading my 4 pack scuba review off the beach envisioning struggles with surge and sandy visibility.

Well all was not lost, despite all the boats being cancelled, and Jetties closed, I took the decision to stay in the pool. As a result we were able to really do a great thorough review without the trudge down the beach or the inevitable surge n sand. Phew.

Of course I was one of about 3 people working in Sharm today which wasn’t so hot, but, hey we had fun. And I was toasty warm in my dry suit hehe total overkill so didn’t suffer the wind chill effect when I got out.
