Just got back from Key Largo. Thought y'all might want to see some pics.

Headin' out to make bubbles ...

Hmmmm, no SCUBA in Key Largo, 1948 version. More importantly, no Lauren Bacall in 2009 version.

Here are the pics from the dive card for the Benwood wreck. We dove this at night and saw a huuuuuuuuuge sea turtle (I think it was a Loggerhead) sleeping -- all tucked up and cozy underneath the hull. The thing didn't move an inch. It just opened one eye as if to say, "Flippin' divers. Won't they ever let me sleep?" There was a lobster right next to him (her) who really didn't seem all that concerned we were there. Usually, lobsters (bugs) are quite skittish. All in all, an excellent dive trip!

No, but the hotel where they shot Key Largo is still there. And if you're a Catherine Hepburn fan, the African Queen is there, too.

I heard the queen was down there. Someone rescued her from Africa. I'd pay for a ride.


More of a Bogie fan than a Hepburn fan.
