As every year, April 20th saw the return of "The Birthday Party" (4/20). This year, as always, was a huge success. It was especially special as it was the 10th anniversary...one whole decade of Coconut Tree Divers.
Our boats have been quite full with many divers and courses for the last two weeks. With all the visitors being enthusiastic divers, we had both boats going out most mornings, and some afternoons as well. After the party we hit a spell of bad weather, which forced us to the South Side for a few days (a rarity in April), but we are now back on our usual schedule - two boats again this afternoon!
We would like to thank everyone who came to the party and made it the occasion that it was, especially to those of you that came from various far-flung corners of the world. The combination of a bright sunny day, calm seas, a mountain of floaty toys, 20 gallons of punch, 700 cans of beer, 70 pounds of shrimp, steak and chicken cooking all afternoon, two pinatas, beer frisbee really made for quite some party!
Particular thanks to Ron and Alex from Baltimore for bringing the CTD 10th Anniversary custom t-shirts and sunglasses, Daniel and Gina from Chicago for the wristbands, Keith Woods and Gay for preparing all the delicious food (steak and shrimp!), Lou and Tina for setting up the sound system, and Marco and the beer kitty for the addition of the birthday banner. Last and most of all, thank you from all of us to PJ, Gay (and Mr Vincent Bush of the Coconut Tree complex) for making all this possible.
For those of you that were not able to make it (this year) - here are some highlights!
