Small Hope Dive Ops

Monday, April 30th, 2007

We chose to go to Andros because of an all-inclusive dive resort there called Small Hope Bay Lodge. There really aren’t many hotels or other places to stay (or things to do) on this island for vacationers except, pretty much, to go to Small Hope. They have about 16 rooms and can probably [...]

Adventures in Andros

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

First, I inventoried my remaining plumbing parts in preparation for my This Will Be My Last Order order…

…which I placed with a combination of Savko, AquaticEco, and Marine Depot tonight. I really hope I am done with the majority of the expensive plumbing pieces. Part of [...]
