Diving the Great Barrier Reef

Finally, we got a break in the weather and Oso Blanco and us scooted 40 miles north of Cairns to the Agincourt Reef. We anchored behind Crispin Reef. Our whaler is too heavy to unload in the still persistent swell, so Glen and I lowered our rubber di…

Mount Vernon Visit

We visited Mount Vernon while we were in the DC area and were very impressed with both the facility and the man. George Washington was a true patriot that put his life on the line to win our freedom and then resigned as General of our Army w…
