Headed to the airport at 7am. Met Matt and Tim in the United Lounge. Boarded non-stop United flight at 9:35, slept a bit on the way over. Matt's Dad, Tom, was waiting at the airport. We were picked up by Ben from the boat and taken into Kona, dropped off at Jack's Dive locker so Matt could buy some booties. Had lunch at Bongo Ben's; waiter carried 8 plates at once to a table, impressive. Walked back along the water, found a stuffed octopus and gecko for the 'stuffed animal jail' back home. Had several hours to kill so we took a cab to a movie theater and watched Land of the Lost. Pretty silly, but they had A/C and it burned 2 hours, so it worked.
Fred was waiting at the dock when we got back to town. Boarded the boat at 5:30, met the rest of the crew: Jeff (the captain), Patty (the towel animal artist), Perry (a.k.a. Punky Peru) and Doug (the master chef), as well as the one other diver on the boat with us, John, from Honolulu. Had a delicious dinner, fought with some camera setup issues (seized up screws on Randy's housing) then headed to the room for bed.
