From Lobster Videos on Youtube to…
It began harmlessly enough.
“Let’s go to Maine next year for the annual lobster fest.”
I love me some shellfish and was immediately sold on the idea.
Now to plan.
- Start with the official website, Maine Lobster Festival.
- Check out a place to stay.
- Watch YouTubes on how to snorkel in the Florida Gulf.
Yes, down the rabbit hole we went and 4 hours later the hubby found himself immersed (pun intended) in the underwater possibility of a DIY lobster fest.
From there, the ‘watch next’ led to equipment, locations, and how to snorkel. But, snorkeling only gets you so far.
Forget about the lobster, how can we better breathe underwater longer?
Scuba.
Now, hubby was really intrigued.
A 4 hour investment with YouTube led to days and weeks of aquatic musings.
Eventually, he popped the question:
“Would you be my diving buddy?”
Hmmm…
I had already placed my life in his hands when I said, “I do”, back on November 13, 1993. So, why not?
“Sure.”
A few days later we were picking out fins and setting a date for our first scuba class at Diver’s World.
Somehow, I think a trip to Maine would have been easier… and possibly cheaper. But, I’m up for a challenge and look forward to this new hobby with the hubby.
PS: Did I tell you we’re in our mid-50s?
Pray for me as I pray for you!
