SCUBA


There I am, in SCUBA gear in the Caribbean, at the place I wrote about in the poem. The photo was taken with my underwater disposable camera, by our instructor, who is pictured below, feeding kibble to the fish that swim in the bay we were in. This was 1999, during a loop down the so-called eastern cruise route; the ship was SS Norway, the remade France, which was commissioned just as trans-Atlantic jet flights were coming into vogue. It was mothballed soon after, until it was purchased by the Norway Cruise Line, and rebuilt. It is a real classic ship, in the trans-Atlantic mode. For details, see the link.
