Wow, this is still going on.

I remember when things were a little "heated" between Cantex and Bernie back in 2008.

Robert's idea was to turn the lighthouse into a private dining area.

hi old buddy,,,i kind of got alot of it yesterday in puerto morelas....i went out to check a spot to see what the reef was like,,i was only gone about an hour and i had on a wet suit,,,,i was snorkling in about 27 feet of water and i seen a beautiful shell on the botom, it was the biggest king chonc i ever seen...i knew it was dead but it would be a struggle to get down,,,i debated on taking my suit off but thought i might get my weener bitten off , cause there was so many fish around. So i swam as hard as i could and i finally reached bottom,,i grabed the shell and shot to the suface like a bullet.....it was a really nice shell,,a fisherman took the meat out of it not long before that,,,its beautiful and pink....what a catch,,,,i got a smaller one also very nice in about 9 feet of water,,seen lots of fish 2 stingrays,,,dozens of baracudas...great day,,,id have to say that its nicer there than akumal bay

and weener still intact

No kidding -- of course, I only spent an overnight there on the train ride, but it seemed quite charming, I guess I couldn't tell how big it was.... 85,000 is certainly not a "small" town, so pardon my ignorance!! That train ride through the mountains to Banff is just magnificent, and Lake Louise, Jasper, Banff....we americans have little idea of just how beautiful Canada is, I think...

hi kids,,,i just went from the beach,,,if you go down about 1 mile from the wharf in the center of town you will see a sectioned off area with rope and little yellow buoy,,this means the boats stay outside of it,,if you look there are flat white tie up bouys for the boats, which mark the best coral areas...im planning on doing a video over the next while and ill post,,,,,you dont have to be a great swimmer ,,just snorkle out by those white scaucers and enjoy

Rob, is the Flea Market held every Sunday? Could you take a couple of pics and post? I'm curious if it's something I might like...
