air, dull red sunsets and hundreds of squalls constantly 

 building up at sea. All that was needed was a circular 

 movement blowing into a low-pressure area to turn the 

 squalls into a full-fledged hurricane. 



Fortunately the hurricane did not develop, but the 

 disturbed weather continued for the duration of our stay. 

 Sea Diver was finally put up for the rest of the season 

 without our getting another opportunity to go out to the 

 reefs. King Neptune had won the first bout in his battle 

 to protect his own. But we were not discouraged. We had 

 big plans for the coming year.
